The late great Whitey Herzog (look him up kids) said, “speed never goes in a slump”. As a former Royals manager, the team has adopted that moniker as a rallying cry for decades.
Name any successful Royals team, and you can point to someone on that roster who personified that Herzog quote.
All four Royals’ World Series teams ranked in the top 10 in the league in stolen bases. In fact, the Royals lead the MLB in total stolen bases since the 1994 strike.
Since 2017, the Royals have led the league in stolen bases four times, more than any other team in the league.
