It's coming up to a year now that Kansas City Royals claimed Tommy Pham off waivers from the St. Louis Cardinals amid a stretch run resulting in their first postseason appearance since 2015.
His time in Kansas City wasn't the most memorable from a regular season perspective, as he slashed just .228/.250/.337 with two homers, eight RBI and a 60 wRC+ in 104 plate appearances across 23 games.
However, after a strong ALDS against the New York Yankees in a postseason where the Royals bats struggled overall - he hit .455 with an .871 OPS in 12 plate appearances - he ended 2024 on a positive note.
