## Resource

Cleveland’s Guardians are defying logic—tied for first despite ranking dead last in offense, slugging, and homers. Their secret? A bold, player-driven strategy called “just touch first base,” where drawing walks is their primary weapon. Third in the league in walks, they’ve turned disciplined at-bats into wins, led by veteran Rhys Hoskins and amplified by a resilient roster. Even with key injuries and a shaky June, their walk-driven momentum surged in July. With power hitters potentially arriving at the trade deadline and strong pitching and defense holding them together, this unorthodox path could lead them to the postseason.
