Their centerfielders put up 60 wRC+ and -1.3 fWAR. Right field was slightly worse, with Guardians’ right fielders putting up -1.6 fWAR and a 69 wRC+.

Key Highlights

However, I do think Cleveland fans can be cautiously optimistic about right field in 2026; the team has three young hitters capable of playing right field in Chase DeLauter, George Valera and C. J.
Kayfus.
Surely, one of them will be healthy and able to take the lionshare of at-bats out there.
David Fry and even Jhonkensy Noel could help vs.
LHP in right, or maybe a lefty-masher free agent like Miguel Andujar or Austin Hays.
