It took longer than expected for Kansas City Royals 2013 8th overall pick to make his way to the big leagues, but he’s finally seeing all the hard work pay off in the 2019 season. Hunter Dozier, 27, has been one of the few bright spots for the Royals in an otherwise lousy season.
The Stephen F. Austin State University product was held in high regard coming out of the 2013 MLB Draft. Obviously, the Royals selected him in the 1st round and for good reason. The Wichita Falls, Texas native slashed 0.396/0.482/0.755 with 25 doubles, 17 home runs and 52 RBI’s in his final year on campus.
