Jose Ramirez Is Projected To Lead The Guardians In This Stat

MLB.com predicts Jose Ramirez to lead the Cleveland Guardians in home runs in 2023.

One of the biggest questions on everyone's mind heading into Spring Training is, "who is going to be the biggest power hitter in the Guardians' lineup?"

Cleveland went out and signed Silver Slugger winner Josh Bell to a two-year deal, Josh Naylor always has the potential to launch a number of home runs, Oscar Gonzalez may focus on his power this season, Andres Gimenez displayed some tremendous potential and newly signed Mike Zunino also has a history of hitting home runs.

We also can never count out Jose Ramirez because he can do anything on a baseball diamond. 

These were the team's home run leaders last year:

1. Jose Ramirez - 29
2. Josh Naylor - 20
3. Josh Bell - 17 (Between the Nationals and Padres)
4. Andres Gimenez - 17
5. Oscar Gonzalez - 11

After leading the Guardians in home runs in 2022, MLB.com also projects Ramirez to lead the team again in 2023. This time they forecast him to hit 30, just above last year.

The Guardians hit the second least home runs as a team in 2022 which is stat fans have heard time and time again. But this team could take a big step in this department with a healthy Jose in the lineup, the progression of younger players, and veteran power hitters such as Bell and Zunino in the lineup.
