It is time we lowered our expectations for Adalberto Mondesi

Kansas City Royals fans have seen a lot of great baseball in the last decade. We’ve seen great team feats, culminating in a World Series victory. And we’ve also seen great individual feats—unbelievable defense from Lorenzo Cain, hot streaks at the plate from Eric Hosmer where he resembled a Hall of Fame hitter, stunning outfield assists from Alex Gordon, and Jorge Soler bombs to the moon.

And yet, peak Adalberto Mondesi might just be more exciting than any of those players. His power and speed combination is truly rare, and we’ve seen athletic feats from him that are simply jaw dropping.
