Kansas City Royals: Donnie Dewees is moving himself into the light

Donnie Dewees is one of those players. The Kansas City Royals acquired the center fielder from the Chicago Cubs when the sent Alec Mills to Chicago.

When the Royals first got Dewees, he was a Low-A outfielder who was showing promise. He doesn’t have “over the fence” power, but he does have the ability to hit the gap. Over his first two years in A-Ball, he hit .278/.327/.405 over 195 games. During that time he also hit 39 doubles, 15 triples, and 10 home runs. Not awful, but his gap hitting ability is impressive.
