The Royals were once synonymous with great third base play, with George Brett holding down the position as the best in the game for over a dozen years. Even after he retired, the Royals had solid players at the hot corner - Kevin Seitzer, Gary Gaetti, Joe Randa, and Mike Moustakas.
But more recently, the position has been a bit of a black hole. Rookies Bobby Witt Jr. and Emmanuel Rivera split time at third last year, and it was the first time since 2015 that the Royals weren’t in the bottom ten teams in WAR produced from the third base position.
