In his last 10 days, Raul Mondesi had 12 hits in 36 at bats with eight stolen bases, 2 doubles, and 1 home run for a .333 batting average. The Kansas City Royals front office liked what they have seen and promoted him to AAA Omaha. The move hardly comes as a surprise, since the 20-year-old switch hitter has been rapidly pushed up the chain since he joined the team as a top international signing at age 16.
For the season, Mondesi is hitting .261/.325/.451 at AA NW Arkansas (29 games) and High A Wilmington (9 games) with 7 doubles, 1 triple, 6 home runs, 19 stolen bases, and 21 RBIs in 153 at bats.
