We’ve seen some bad offensive starts in the past 20 years. In 2008 through the month of April, Tony Pena put up a .383 OPS. More recently in 2017, Alcides Escobar put up a 4.8 wRC+ in the same time period. Both of those starts are in the 30 worst starts since 2002. With that in mind, let’s take a moment to really appreciate what Adalberto Mondesi has done at the shortstop position.
It sure seems like the 2019 offense is humming and I wanted to see how it stacked up with the March/Aprils of Royals offenses past.
