Whit Merrifield Is Killing It
5 years agoKansas City Royals All-Star Whit Merrifield is loving life since he made his first All-Star team. Merrifield was officially named to the team on June 29, and all he's done is hit since then. Merrifield began his current 15-game hit streak on that day, and he's hitting .410 over that span. He's hit one home run, driven in six runs, scored 12, and stolen four bases. He's also posted an amazing .486 OBP and 1.076 OPS over the span. Merrifield is absolutely on fire right now, and the team is counting on him since young superstar Adalberto Mondesi is headed to the Injured List. Merrifield drew some trade interest last season, but the Royals signed him to an extension, so it's unlikely he'll be on the move this year.
