While the Royals are surely celebrating their face of the franchise in Bobby Witt Jr. capturing his second consecutive Silver Slugger Award on Friday, there were three other Kansas City hitters up for awards at their respective position as well.
It seemed unrealistic to think every one of their nominees would take home honors, but after the winners were announced on The Baseball Insiders YouTube channel, there was likely one question that was on the minds of the Royals faithful.
Where was Maikel Garcia?
After seeming like the frontrunner in the utility category, Garcia somehow fell short of victory, with the group of MLB coaches voting on the award favoring Zach McKinstry of the Detroit Tigers.
