Adalberto Mondesi Steals Two More Bases
6 years agoKansas City Royals speedster Adalberto Mondesi was back at it again on Wednesday as he swiped a pair of bases from the Rangers. Mondesi's two thefts weren't enough to get him home as he was left without a run scored for the fourth straight game, but he's now got five steals in his last six games. Mondesi leads the majors in stolen bases this year with 15, and he's chipped in five home runs so far while hitting a surprising .281 for the season. A big part of his success has been his strikeout rate, but it's been spiking recently and is now up to 27%. As long as he can stay focused on making regular contact, Mondesi looks like he's going to return the high-round value many predicted.
