2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Guardians are one of the cheapest teams in the league, so while Rocchio doesn't project to perform like an everyday-caliber player in 2024, he may still get those opportunities. The switch-hitting shortstop has been a quality prospect dating back to an impressive pro debut as a teenager in 2018, but despite posting ISO's over .160 and slugging percentages over .425 across High-A and Double-A in 2021 and 2022, his power output has declined steeply since reaching Triple-A and the majors. It's possible he was able to get himself into more hitter's counts that allowed him to swing for the fences more against High-A and Double-A pitching and that has not carried over against pitchers with better control. Aside from limited raw power, Rocchio has a lot going for him. He is an excellent defensive infielder who had an 11.2 percent walk rate and 12.3 percent strikeout rate with 25 steals in 116 games at Triple-A. Barring an offseason acquisition of a more seasoned big-league shortstop, Rocchio could be Cleveland's starter at the position while likely hitting in the bottom third of the lineup.

Plates four in victory
Rocchio went 1-for-1 with a home run, four RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Tuesday's 7-1 win over Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
The Cleveland shortstop opened the game's scoring in the second inning innocuously with a sacrifice fly. Rocchio then returned to blast a 372-foot, two-run homer off reliever Sam Long in the seventh before drawing a bases-loaded walk in the eighth to notch his first career four-RBI performance. The 23-year-old continues to play regularly at shortstop for the Guardians despite slashing .211/.298/.319 with seven homers, 46 runs scored and 31 RBI across 381 plate appearances, as his above-average glove keeps him in the lineup.

Stat Review
How does Brayan Rocchio compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

As Rocchio, a switch-hitting shortstop who turns 22 this offseason, nears MLB readiness, his fit on the Guardians might be becoming a bigger question than his skill set. Andres Gimenez and Amed Rosario are theoretically entering their primes and they were worth a combined 8.5 fWAR last year. Part of the reason teams like Cleveland build with up-the-middle position players is so that they can move down the defensive spectrum when needed, but none of Rocchio/Gimenez/Rosario have the power typically associated with the corners, and Jose Ramirez probably isn't going anywhere. While he waits his turn at Triple-A, Rocchio could work on doing more damage when he makes contact. He has excellent bat-to-ball skills (84.7 Contact% at Triple-A), but too often he was swinging at pitchers' pitches and making weak contact (50.4 GB%). Rocchio has only run a high BABIP once in full-season ball (.350 at Double-A in 2021), so that excellent run (135 wRC+) should probably be considered the outlier until he improves his contact quality. He was 14-for-23 on stolen-base attempts, so that's another area he could improve.
