The KC Royals are one of the fastest teams in all of baseball. Adalberto Mondesi is a large reason why, and he’s getting national respect for it.
For years, the KC Royals have been built on speed and defense. With how spacious Kauffman Stadium is as a ballpark, it only makes sense to have some of the game’s fastest players flying around the diamond. Shortstop Adalberto Mondesi certainly fits that mold.
After swiping 32 bags in 75 games during the 2018 season, Mondesi followed it up with another 43 stolen bases last season in 102 contests.
