Walks, bean balls, and poor play by the Chicago White Sox all contributed to Alex Gordon‘s record. It is a record nonetheless. The Kansas City Royals are looking at alternative ways get on base and to score runs. No one has talked about this strategy. Seriously though, Gordon may be on to something for himself. Known more for his strikeouts than his walks, he already has two of them to go along with being hit twice by pitches.
Gordon was considered the “Next George Brett” when he was drafted by the Royals. High expectations have followed him ever since.
