Players to Watch: Kansas City Royals vs. LA Angels
Kansas City Royals
Bobby Witt Jr. — SS. Witt has established himself as the top of the Kansas City order, hitting .285 with a .355 on-base percentage this season. His .448 slugging mark shows he can also drive the ball for extra bases, giving the Royals a complete offensive weapon at shortstop.
Jac Caglianone — RF. Power has been the calling card for Caglianone, who has launched 21 home runs and driven in 53 runs this season. His .268 average suggests he brings more than pure pop, doing enough at the plate to complement the power numbers.
Carter Jensen — C. Behind the plate, Jensen has turned into one of Kansas City’s more productive bats, driving in 55 runs this season. He’s added 16 home runs of his own, though his .222 average points to a game built more on situational hitting than raw contact.
LA Angels
Nolan Schanuel — 1B. At first base, Schanuel has been a steady presence for the Angels, hitting .271 with a .350 on-base percentage. His .383 slugging mark rounds out a profile built more on contact and patience than raw power.
Mike Trout — CF. Trout remains a threat in center field, having connected for 20 home runs and driven in 45 runs this season. His .245 average reflects a season that hasn’t come easily, but the power production has stayed intact.
Zach Neto — SS. Neto has provided steady run production up the middle, driving in 52 runs to go with 20 home runs. His .224 average is the lowest of the group, but his pop at shortstop keeps him firmly in the lineup.
