With the “sacks packed with Sox,” as Hawk used to say, Yoán Moncada was the man for the 2018 White Sox.
In 19 plate appearances, he slashed .471/.474/.941 with eight hits, three doubles, one triple, one home run, one walk, four strikeouts and one sacrifice fly.
Sure it was only 19 plate appearances. And of course, bases-loaded situations are the easiest to accumulate loads of RBIs. But 20 of his 61 RBIs in 2018 came in those 19 bases-loaded plate appearances. Or more specifically, 20 of his 61 RBIs in 2018 came in 11 of those bases-loaded plate appearances.
