Players to Watch: Cleveland Guardians vs. Cincinnati Reds
Cleveland Guardians
Chase DeLauter — RF. DeLauter is hitting .282 with 11 home runs and 50 RBIs, giving Cleveland a steady, well-rounded bat in right field. His .352 on-base percentage and .447 slugging mark show a hitter who gets on base and drives the ball with regularity rather than leaning on one skill.
Rhys Hoskins — 1B. Eleven home runs and 33 RBIs have kept Rhys Hoskins in Cleveland’s lineup at first base this season. His .174 average lags well behind his power numbers, a reminder that his value comes from the extra-base hit rather than a high batting average.
Cincinnati Reds
Elly De La Cruz — SS. Cincinnati’s shortstop brings one of the more complete lines in the Reds lineup, hitting .278 with a .354 on-base percentage and a .506 slugging mark. That mix of average, patience and power makes him a genuine three-true-outcomes threat every time he steps to the plate.
Sal Stewart — 1B. Sal Stewart pairs 21 home runs with 76 RBIs at a .253 average, giving Cincinnati a middle-of-the-order bat at first base capable of changing a game with one swing. His 21 home runs stand well clear of Hoskins’ 11 on the visiting side, with a higher batting average to match.
