Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Unable to build off spring
Rotowire
Rocchio went 0-for-2 and was hit by a pitch in Tuesday's 7-0 loss to San Diego.
Rocchio, who had a promising Cactus League season, has not carried that over into the regular season. Over 50 plate appearances this spring, the shortstop had an .828 OPS, which in retrospect was influenced by a .389 BABIP. Thus far through five regular-season contests, Rocchio is 3-for-15 (.231 BABIP) with one walk and one run.

Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Having strong spring
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.

Rocchio has gone 7-for-18 (.389) with two home runs, five RBI and four walks over seven games in September.

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.

Over his last six games, Rocchio has gone 7-for-19 (.368) with two homers and five RBI. That hot bat has helped him keep a spot in the lineup at shortstop on a regular basis. He's now slashing .215/.301/.331 with eight homers, 32 RBI, 48 runs scored, nine stolen bases and 15 doubles across 384 plate appearances this year.

Rotowire
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.
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.
