Players to Watch: Kansas City Royals vs. Colorado Rockies
Kansas City Royals
Jac Caglianone — RF. Caglianone has emerged as the top power threat in Kansas City’s lineup, hitting .254 with 17 home runs and 40 RBIs in right field. His home run total leads all Royals hitters in this matchup, three more than Carter Jensen’s 14, giving Kansas City some thump from the corner outfield spot.
Carter Jensen — C. The catcher has driven in a team-leading 53 runs, more than Caglianone’s 40, while adding 14 home runs and a .235 average behind the plate. That RBI production gives Kansas City a rare offensive spark from the catcher position on a rebuilding roster.
Salvador Perez — DH. Perez remains a fixture in the middle of the Royals’ order as the designated hitter, hitting .212 with 15 home runs and 45 RBIs this season. His .368 slugging percentage and .260 on-base mark round out a season built more on power than average.
Colorado Rockies
TJ Rumfield — 1B. Rumfield’s .293 average is the best mark among the Rockies hitters in tonight’s matchup, well up from Hunter Goodman’s .254 and Tyler Freeman’s .253. He backs that average with a .376 on-base percentage and a .467 slugging mark at first base.
Hunter Goodman — C. Goodman has been Colorado’s primary source of power from behind the plate, launching 31 home runs and driving in 60 runs while hitting .254. That home run total dwarfs Tyler Freeman’s three, showing how much of Colorado’s pop begins at the catcher position.
Tyler Freeman — RF. Freeman gives Colorado a different look at the top of the order, hitting .253 with a .326 on-base percentage, three home runs and six stolen bases. His speed and on-base ability provide a contrast to the power bats elsewhere in Colorado’s lineup.
