The Kansas City Royals announced today that outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler and left-handed pitcher Danny Duffy have been named Royals Player and Pitcher of the Month, respectively, for the month of September. The awards are determined by a local media vote.
Soler, 27, led the Royals in September with 10 home runs and 20 RBI, his second straight 10-homer, 20-RBI month. Prior to August, the last Royal to hit 10 homers in a month was Mike Sweeney in June 2001. Soler’s first home run of the month, on September 3 vs. Detroit, was his 39th of the season, which broke a tie with Mike Moustakas (38 in 2017) for the Royals’ single-season record.
