Canadian-Jamaican catcher Bo Naylor has batted .230/.324/.426(110 wRC+) since the All-Star Break’s conclusion. Is this a real breakout or is is just another hot stretch of hitting?
Interesting and encouraging for this Guardians fan. If he hits in the .190s, it isn't obvious Naylor provides more value than Austin Hedges, given Hedges' defensive skills. But with another 30 or 40 points of batting average and the slug that goes with it, Naylor has a greater advantage (especially in Cleveland's lineup).

Great observation, and thank you for reading.
