Hunter Dozier is sleeper All-Star OF pick for KC Royals

With names like Mike Trout, George Springer, Austin Meadows and KC Royals’ own Whit Merrifield, it will take a good start to the year to be an outfield All-Star in the AL. Hunter Dozier is more than up to the challenge though.

The 2019 season should have erased any doubt as to whether Dozier can handle big league pitching. He raked with 26 homers, 29 doubles and led the majors with 10 triples. His OPS+ of 125 and offensive WAR of 3.6 exceeded the expectations surrounding him heading into the season.
