Kansas City Royals
Bobby Witt Jr. — SS. Witt Jr. anchors the left side of Kansas City’s infield, hitting .287 with a .363 on-base percentage. He has added a .459 slugging mark, giving the Royals thump from the shortstop spot on most nights.
Jac Caglianone — RF. Caglianone has developed into one of the more productive bats in Kansas City’s outfield, hitting .276 with 22 home runs and 60 RBIs this season. His 22 home runs lead all Royals hitters, five more than Salvador Perez’s 17.
Salvador Perez — DH. Perez continues to drive Kansas City’s lineup from the designated hitter spot, with 58 RBIs on 17 home runs this season. His .222 batting average trails Caglianone’s .276, but the power numbers keep him in the middle of the order. Perez remains one of the most experienced bats in the Kansas City clubhouse, providing steady run production as the club plays out a 58-74 season with an eye toward next year.
Toronto Blue Jays
Ernie Clement — 2B. Clement has quietly turned into one of Toronto’s steadiest bats at second base, hitting .284 with a .309 on-base percentage. His .402 slugging percentage gives the Blue Jays a reliable bat near the top of the batting order most nights.
Kazuma Okamoto — 3B. Okamoto supplies the power in Toronto’s lineup, hitting 26 home runs and driving in 74 runs at third base. His .230 average reflects that trade-off, but his RBI total sits 31 ahead of teammate Ernie Clement’s 43, making him the most productive run producer in Toronto’s order this season.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. — 1B. Guerrero Jr. rounds out Toronto’s lineup at first base, hitting .262 with a .335 on-base percentage. He has added 7 home runs and 46 RBIs this season, trailing Okamoto’s team-high 26 homers but giving the Blue Jays another steady bat in the middle of the order.
