Home runs and power hitting will never be a calling card of this iteration of the Cleveland Guardians. Not that this is a bad thing, but this has been made clear over the last few seasons and even as they've been at the bottom of the totem pole in terms of total home runs. Through the first 39 games of the 2023 season, the Guardians had only 22 home runs which was easily the fewest in all of baseball. Cleveland also had the lowest SLG in MLB at .342 at the time.
