• Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Having strong spring

  20D ago • By RotoWire

  Rocchio went 2-for-3 in Saturday's spring game against San Diego. Rocchio is showing signs of improvement at the plate during Cactus League play, slashing .450/.476/.650 with four doubles through eight spring games. That builds off a strong 2024 postseason in which the shortstop had a .906 OPS. The 24-year-old was a highly regarded prospect a few years ago, and while he may not provide much in the way of power, Rocchio defends well (five outs above average in 2024) at a premium position and doesn't need to be a five-category contributor to be an asset for the Guardians.

• Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Registers steal in win

  09/10/2024 • By RotoWire

  Rocchio went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Monday's 5-3 win over the White Sox. Rocchio has gone 7-for-18 (.389) with two home runs, five RBI and four walks over seven games in September. That has helped him gain a majority of the playing time at shortstop, though he still faces a small threat from Daniel Schneemann. Rocchio hit just .206 in August and is at a .214/.304/.328 slash line with eight homers, 10 steals, 32 RBI and 48 runs scored through 127 contests this season.
