The Cleveland Guardians have clinched their 2nd American League Central title in the last 3 seasons.
With a record of 92 wins and 67 losses, the Guardians have matched their highest win total in the last 5 years with 3 games still to play.
Major League Baseball has a ton of superstar players in the game today.
One of them seems to go under the radar, but one analyst is taking notice.
According to Paul Hembekides on ‘X,’ Jose Ramirez of the Guardians might be the most underrated superstar in all of Major League Baseball.

Not only is Hembekides saying Ramirez is one the best third basemen in baseball today, but he is one of the best third basemen in baseball all time.
Ramirez came into the league with the Guardians in 2013 and became a regular starter in 2016.
Since 2016, Ramirez has been an all-star 6 times, won 4 Silver Slugger Awards, and came top 5 in Most Valuable Player voting 4 times.
Ramirez has continued his production in 2024 where he is batting .279 with 38 home runs, 115 runs batted in, and a .867 on-base plus slugging percentage.
His quietly consistent career includes a batting average of .279 with 254 home runs, 861 runs batted in, and a .856 on-base plus slugging percentage.
The Guardians have relied on their all-star slugger for the past several seasons, and that will continue in 2024 come October.
Ramirez and the Guardians will try to make a postseason run and appear in their first World Series since 2016 when they lost in 7 games to the Chicago Cubs.
They will take on the Houston Astros beginning Friday to begin the final series of the regular season.
