Yoan Moncada went from the top-ranked prospect in the game to a guy who struck out 217 times in his first full season in the majors. And now, he's once again the talk of the South Side.
Moncada is off to an excellent start, rebounding in impressive fashion from a disappointing 2018 campaign, one those strikeouts were just the most glaring part of. He also committed 21 errors at second base and had woeful numbers against left-handed pitching. But 2019 has been a complete 180. Through the season's first six games, he's slashing .458/.519/.875 with four doubles, a couple homers and a few clutch hits, the most recent the game-winning single to center in the seventh inning of Friday's home opener.
