9th three game of the year, most of any rookie. Now hitting .298. That puts him between manny machado and Nolan arenado and just ahead of Arron judge. ROY !

9th three game of the year, most of any rookie. Now hitting .298. That puts him between manny machado and Nolan arenado and just ahead of Arron judge. ROY ! That game was game 12 in what ended up being an 18-game hitting streak. And he only did not get a 19-game hitting streak, because he fouled one off his foot, and they took him out of the game as a precaution. Tied for sixth in triples in the AL with 3. Seventh in singles in the AL with 80. Second in lowest strikeout rate in the AL behind Luis Arraez. Kwan is tied for the lead in leftfield assists with six and second in double-plays by a leftfielder with one. Kwan is also second in double-plays by a rightfielder with one. That also ties him for second in the AL with two outfield double-plays. Kwan is on top of the AL in total zone runs by a leftfielder and range factor/inning by a leftfielder. Kwan is currently fourth in fielding percentage by a leftfielder. ROY! |

He’s currently 21st in average and 16th in OBP. He’s acouple over average games from being top 15 in both.

Rutschman may be having an even more impressive season, and I'm guessing he'd be the front-runner for ROY if his start hadn't been delayed.
He's currently sporting an .804 OPS, but in his last 46 games (since June 10), he's hitting .297 with a .938 OPS and has 21 doubles in those 46 games (translates to 74 over 162 games).
If he matches that in the Orioles last third of the season, his rate stats will look pretty good, even if his counting stats will be suppressed due to his time on the IL and in the Minors this season.
The Orioles are 30-16 in the last 46 games Rutschman has played in.

Adley Adley coming on strong of course in about 200 fewer ABs than the other guys. Kwan tied for 7th... |

Great article. During the 18-game hitting streak, Kwan hit .350 with an .851 OPS, six doubles, a homer, 16 runs, 5 RBIs, and 5 walks. Kwan pulled his average up from .279 to .297 during the streak. Kwan's 18-game hitting streak ties the 2022 major league lead. It is the longest hit streak for Cleveland since Michael Brantley in in 2019 and longest by a rookie since 2010 (Brantley had a 19-game hitting streak his rookie season). The record for a Cleveland rookie in the past 50+ years is Brantley's 19, so Kwan would have started to rewrite the history books, if he could have notched a hit in that game and the next. The article also goes into Kwan's slide in the final 10 games in May, where Kwan hit .097 with a .384 OPS and was dropped to the bottom of the order. If you remove those 10 games, Kwan is hitting .318 in the other 85 games. |

Rodriguez and Pena have had great seasons to this point. Kwan has outplayed Adley to this point, but Adley might pass Kwan down the stretch. |

The Orioles are 30-16 in the last 46 games Rutschman has played in. Kwan is hitting .324 with a .792 OPS and has 10 doubles, a triple, and a home run in his past 46 games. Add to that that Kwan has done that with an acLI of 1.19, whereas Adley has done what he has done with an acLI of 0.55. (acLI measures how much pressure the batters have hit in. 1.00 is average. Higher than one indicates that they have tended to bat in more higher-pressure situations. Lower than one indicates that they have tended to bat in more lower-pressure situations.) Both great Beaver hitters. Hopefully both play their way into the running for ROY. |

Both great Beaver hitters. Hopefully both play their way into the running for ROY. Interesting stat. How does it measure pressure? Only external factors like 2 outs in the inning and such? Or does it include things the batter has some control over like the strike count? If the latter is included, it’s an interesting stat, but it doesn’t tell you much. |

Kwany having a better (statistically) 2022 season...Rutschman possibly having greater future impact (in the years 2023 - 2030). They are BOTH genuine candidates for ROY 2022 MLB / American League. If either Cleveland or Baltimore get a wild card, I'd give the edge to the player on the team that earned the WC.

Julio Rodriguez is still ahead of both of them at this point, but he is having some issues staying healthy. |

Kwan's highest-rated acLI game was June 23rd. He came on in the top of the ninth down 1-0 with a runner on second. Rutschman's highest-rated acLI game was July 16th. Rutschman came on in the eighth down one and hit a homer to right to tie the game. In the 10th with one out and a runner on third, Rutschman hit a flyball to right to put the Orioles on top. Like most statistics, it's not determinative and is merely a jumping off point for discussion. |

If either Cleveland or Baltimore get a wild card, I'd give the edge to the player on the team that earned the WC. I'm not sure I'd say that. In 40% more plate appearances, Kwan has fewer extra base hits and 3 more walks than Rutschman. Rutschman has a .802 OPS vs Kwan's .752. As of today, Kwan has 2.9 bWAR vs Adley's 2.7 bWAR. Again, that's 62 games played vs 95 games. Kwan's having a great season, but Adley is only behind due to being injured and not getting called up until 1/4 through the season. Rutsch has also been on fire since getting acclimated to the bigs. I believe Adley would be the frontrunner for AL ROY if he had started the season healthy and on the MLB roster. |
