On the other side, the Royals have their own set of aces. Vinnie Pasquantino, playing first base, has been a key performer for Kansas City. With a batting average of .500 and hitting a home run that brought in three RBIs in one of the past games, Pasquantino's prowess at bat cannot be underestimated. His OPS stood impressively at 1.85 in that game, highlighting his significant contribution to the team's offensive efforts.


Another notable Royal is Bobby Witt Jr., whose versatility as a shortstop and consistent batting average of .333 in one of the games add depth to Kansas City's lineup. Witt Jr.'s ability to get on base and create scoring opportunities has been vital for the Royals, evidenced by his .600 on-base percentage (OBP) in another match.
