Petey spent the majority of the season in AAA Columbus where he put up .249\/.321\/.414 with a 95 wRC+ and 14 HR.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Halpin did not have much exposure to major league hitting, having only 8 plate appearances. Stephen Vogt had a very specific role for the 23 year old outfielder. He was used as a late inning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coveringthecorner.com\/cleveland-guardians-analysis\/62908\/petey-halpin-playoff-edition\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pinch runner\/defensive sub<\/a>. This was perfect for him with his bat and his experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">But how will the Guardians use him in 2026?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Petey\u2019s bat doesn\u2019t look to be the miracle power hitting outfielder bat that the team has been searching for, but what he doesn\u2019t improve for the team offensively, he could improve defensively. Halpin played 910.1 innings in center field for the Clippers in 2025. In that time he only committed on error.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It will be interesting to see where Petey starts the year &#8211; AAA, Cleveland, or maybe with another team. However, he has the opportunity to come into form as a hitter once he gets significant major league exposure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Petey Halpin was one of the last call ups for the Cleveland Guardians, not making his debut until&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":318554,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[163277,363,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-318553","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-cleveland-guardians-analysis-editorials","9":"tag-mlb","10":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318553","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=318553"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318553\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/318554"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=318553"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=318553"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=318553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
