Although Adalberto Mondesi is just 23 years old, it may seem to some Royals fans like they’ve heard about him for a really long time.
Well, they have. Mondesi signed with the Royals on his 16th birthday in 2011 and made his professional debut the following year.
“We’ve been talking about how special of a player he is and we’re just getting little glimpses of it like we did tonight, but it sure is fun to watch,” manager Ned Yost said after the Royals’ 6-5 loss to the Blue Jays on Tuesday.
Mondesi had a heck of a game, going 4 for 4 with three stolen bases, two doubles, a run scored and an RBI.
