We’re slowly inching closer and closer to baseball being back. Spring training kicks off in less than a month for the KC Royals and although there won’t be a ton of new faces on this year’s squad, we’ll get a good look at some fan-favorites playing new positions. Longtime second baseman/super-utility star Whit Merrifield is one of them.
Merrifield has built a reputation as one of the most reliable players in baseball over the last few seasons. Leading the league in hits in back-to-back seasons and playing good defense at second base, he brings his lunch pail and flat-out works day in and day out.
