Haven’t you heard? There’s a young shortstop in the Kansas City Royals organization. He’s fast and can hit for power, and he has impressed in spring training. Defensively, he’s a natural at shortstop, but the Royals have been playing him lately at second base where there’s more of an immediate need.
You might think that I’m talking about Bobby Witt, Jr., and you would not be incorrect. However, the above paragraph was actually referencing one Adalberto Mondesi, circa spring training 2016. And for those of you who remember Mondesi playing at that time, well, you know: Mondesi is a cautionary tale for Witt.
