  • Steven Kwan has become a top 5 hitter in baseball, and he's a guy that pitcher dread facing when he steps up to the plate, he's super pesky, probably has the best bat control in the league, he almost never strikes out, he can slap the ball around, he can work pitch counts up 8 to ten pitches at a time, and on top of that he is a gold glove left fielder, and it's honestly ridiculous how little recognition he gets, he's putting up all star numbers, and has the best batting average in the league. In this video i'm gonna talk about what kwan is doing, how he is doing it, and i also wanna talk about his upbringing because his story may not be what you think.

      It's cuz he's Asian. Everyone undermines Asian athletes. White dudes say Ohtani is overrated all the time and still say Babe Ruth was better.

    Hitting .398 after four hits today. If he had enough ABs he would be winning the batting title in the majors by over 70 points. He is just a machine and so much fun to watch.

    This guy missed a entire month with a hamstring injury
    Still has more multi hit games than anyone in the bigs
    That’s really all you need to know about the kind of season he’s having. Cleveland found a diamond in the rough with this one. For his age and lack of experience in the bigs he makes it look so easy and comfortable. I seriously think that 0-2 counts doesn’t even register in his head

    Notice the difference in attention between Kwan and Arraez? Unfortunately despite Ohtani etc, Asian players still face so much discrimination in sports. Even Ohtani's first spring training they said he belonged in High School smh.

    sadly there are only three spots in the outfield to start at the all star game. while tucker, soto, and judge are the clear top three front runners, he is easily the 4th best outfielder in the AL without discussion. he will have a spot on the roster.

    The only thing against him is that he plays for a team that so pathetic that they change their name to the Guardians instead of maintaining their Native American Heritage in at least keeping a Native American name. Ever since that's happened Cleveland has lost a massive amount of respect and fanbase therefore his Great Performances aren't seen the way they would have I believe beforehand.
