Whit Merrifield hit .330/.371/.583 (38-for-115) in 26 games in July.
He had 18 extra-base hits last month, matching Giancarlo Stanton for the Major League lead. He also had nine stolen bases in 10 attempts, trailing only Billy Hamilton (11) for the Major League lead.
With 18 XBH and nine steals, Merrifield joined Johnny Damon (August 2000) as the only Royals to meet that power/speed combination in any calendar month. He is just the second American League player in the last 16 years to accomplish the feat, joining Mike Trout (July 2012).
