KC Royals: Mondesi making mountains out of molehills

Although yet to have posted a solid on-base-percentage in his brief career, Adalberto Mondesi has dipped to a three-year low of .278 with just two games remaining in the season. However, he is making the most of the situation not only leading the KC Royals in steals but the entire major leagues.

Mallex Smith managed to lead the majors in steals during 2019 with just a .300 OBP but prior to that leaders in that category often are well north of that mark. The next time you have a player committing league-leading larceny while struggling to make it to first you have to go back over 30 years.
