Cleveland righty Luis Ortiz yielded a 30.7% fly-ball rate in 2024, which was roughly seven points higher than average last season, and with a poor 8.8% barrel rate, there’s a world of opportunity here — especially in a park that produced plenty of home runs a year ago. Jackson Merrill was a righty masher last season, hitting 19 of his 24 homers in the split with a .547 slugging percentage, which topped the reverse by over 170 points.
