Welcome to the continuation of Kings of Kauffman‘s 2020 KC Royals season previews. Leading up to spring training, we’ll be breaking down 30 different Royals. Our analysis will include what they accomplished last season, what to expect this season, along with any other information pertinent to the player. Today’s subject: Adalberto Mondesi.
Mondesi, son of former major leaguer Raul Mondesi, debuted in the 2015 World Series at the age of 20. He then played 72 regular season games over the next two seasons combined, hitting under .200 in both stints with the team. Despite having immense speed and a good glove, it was clear that Mondesi needed additional time in the minor league system before seeing extended action at the MLB level.
