Guardians Expect 'Breakout' 2026 Season from Bo Naylor

The Cleveland Guardians anticipate a 'breakout' 2026 season from catcher Bo Naylor, who finished 2025 with strong momentum after a swing change. Naylor posted a 136 wRC+ in September, a significant improvement from his first-half struggles. Manager Stephen Vogt credits Naylor's adjustment from a leg kick to a toe tap for simplifying his swing. Naylor's improved hard-hit percentage and simplified swing path are key to his outlook.
