In 11 games since returning from the IL, Steven Kwan is batting .535. Not only is it an impressive performance immediately following an IL stint, its the the third highest batting average in a single-season 11-game span for Cleveland since 1994.
Here’s the leaderboard in that span with a minimum of 40 PA and excluding overlapping streaks:
- Albert Belle, 1994 – .579
- Carlos Baerga, 1994 – .545
- Kwan, 2024 – .535
- Ryan Garko, 2007 – .529
- David Justice, 1997 – .529

- Shin-Soo Choo, 2008 – .524
- Roberto Alomar, 2001 – .524
- Justice, 1997 – .514
Justice’s 1997 season appears on here twice. It was two separate streaks with no overlapping games, one in May and another in August.
