Alex Clemmey

CLE Starting Pitcher

Guardians selected Bishop Hendricken (Middletown, RI) LHP Alex Clemmey with the 58th pick of the 2023 MLB Draft.

Clemmey is the classic 6-for-6 projectable prep southpaw that player development staffs dream about refining in their pitching labs. With a fastball that sits in the low-to-mid 90’s and a low-80’s breaking ball, he’s the type of left-hander that teams hope to mold into a future front-of-the-rotation headliner. There’s some risk he winds up in a relief role down the road, but the 18-year-old Vanderbilt commit is the most intriguing prospect to come out of Rhode Island, the smallest state in the nation, since fellow Bishop Hendricken alum – and current Twins manager – Rocco Baldelli two decades ago.
Ralphy Velazquez

CLE Catcher

Guardians selected Huntington Beach HS (Huntington Beach, California) C/1B Ralphy Velazquez with the 23rd pick of the 2023 MLB Draft.

The hard-hitting 18-year-old is a product of Huntington Beach High School in California — the same school that produced Nick Pratto and Hank Conger. He projects as a middle-of-the-order hitter that has shown the ability to drive the ball to all fields with authority. He has a strong arm and a high intellect, though there are concerns if he’s going to be able to stick behind the plate long-term. With Bo Naylor in the way at the big league level, the Guardians could decide to move him to a corner infield spot, as he has the athleticism to handle it.
Shane Bieber

CLE Starting Pitcher #57

Shane Bieber surrendered four runs in 6 1/3 innings Sunday in a loss to the Royals.

It’s the fourth time in five starts that Bieber has given up four runs. At this rate, he’s just not going to have a ton of trade value if the Guardians elect to move him at the deadline. He’s striking out only 19 percent of the batters he’s facing, and he has the third highest hard-hit rate among qualified starters.
Josh Bell

CLE 1st Baseman #55

Josh Bell, who didn’t start because of a bruised knee, grounded into a double play as a pinch-hitter Sunday against the Royals.

Bell was 5-for-10 with a homer and four RBI in the series against the Royals, but he couldn’t come through today. He should be back in the starting lineup when play resumes Friday.
Josh Bell

CLE 1st Baseman #55

Josh Bell is not in the Guardians’ starting lineup for Sunday’s contest against the Royals.

Bell was removed from Saturday’s game after fouling a ball off his knee in the eighth inning. The Guardians decided it was best to give him an extra day to rest and recover. Josh Naylor will fill in for him at first base as the Guardians look to sweep the Royals at home on Sunday.
Bo Naylor

CLE Catcher #23

Bo Naylor finished 3-for-4 with two RBI as the Guardians topped the Royals 10-6 on Saturday.

Naylor seems pretty safe, in light of the Guardians’ decision to release Mike Zunino, but it certainly helps that he had a game like this after going 7-for-47 in his first 14 games. He projects as a top-20 catcher the rest of the way, though that only helps in certain formats.
Gavin Williams

CLE Starting Pitcher #63

Gavin Williams fanned seven while allowing three runs in 5 2/3 innings in his first MLB victory Saturday against the Royals.

Williams certainly should have won at least one of his three previous starts, but at least he’s on the board now. He walked just one tonight, and he got 20 missed swings on 94 pitches. It bodes well for him being a useful mixed-league starter in the second half.
Josh Bell

CLE 1st Baseman #55

Josh Bell, who fouled a pitch off his right knee, was removed for a pinch-runner after singling in the eighth inning Saturday.

Bell was in serious pain after drilling the pitch off his front leg, but he shook it off after a couple of minutes and then hit a two-run single that would have been a double if he hadn’t been limping his way down to first base. He’ll probably be fine Sunday, but if he’s not in the lineup, assume that this is why.
Josh Bell

CLE 1st Baseman #55

Josh Bell smashed a two-run homer in the fourth inning on Friday night, helping to power the Guardians to a 3-0 victory over the visiting Royals.

Bell tagged Royals’ southpaw Daniel Lynch for his 404-foot (106.8 mph EV) two-run shot in the fourth inning that extended the Guardians’ lead to 3-0. That would be the extent of the scoring for either side. The 30-year-old has struggled in his first season with the Guardians, hitting a disappointing .223/.310/.373 with only nine homers and 40 RBI.
Josh Naylor

CLE Left Fielder #22

Josh Naylor went 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI as the Guardians shut out the Royals on Friday night in Cleveland.

Naylor got the party started for the Guardians with a run-scoring single off of Daniel Lynch in the home half of the first inning. He then led off the fourth inning with a single and rode home on Josh Bell’s two-run blast. The 26-year-old has been a rock in the middle of the Guardians’ lineup this season —slashing a robust .301/.341/.479 with 11 homers, 62 RBI and five stolen bases.
