As the 2020 MLB regular season approaches, sites are beginning to list their top players at each position. MLB Network is slowly unveiling its “Top 10 Right Now” series, with lists being released every Saturday. Recently, KC Royals center fielder Whit Merrifield was ranked among the best at his position.
Taking home the No. 5 spot before playing a single game as the full-time man in center, this goes to show just how much respect Merrifield has earned over the last few years. Debuting later than most and churning out inning after inning at second base, he’s proved to be a star super-utility player.
