Some would describe Whit Merrifield as a legend, something of Kansas City Royals folklore. Like their favorite Bo Jackson story. He’s been described as Babe Ruth reincarnated. He has single handedly won games in the MLB.
He almost caught Joe DiMaggio‘s hit streak record. He’s done things that no other player has ever done before. Including recording two hits in every single MLB game that he’s played.
Alright, alright, fine. He’s not Babe Ruth. He’s had his share of struggles in the big leagues and apparently didn’t prove himself enough to make the Opening Day roster in 2017.
