Jorge Soler and Hunter Dozier have become one of the most formidable hitters in the middle of the lineup for the Kansas City Royals. Soler, 27, was acquired during the 2016 offseason in exchange for closer Wade Davis. Soler showed a ton of promise for being an everyday player but due to injuries and struggling with strikeouts early in his career, he was the odd man out in a crowded Cubs outfield.
Dozier, 28, was the Royals first-round pick in the 2013 MLB Draft and is finally playing in his first full season.
