Top Performers to Watch


Vinnie Pasquantino, playing first base for the Royals, has shown remarkable consistency and skill across recent games.

His ability to maintain a fielding percentage (FPCT) of 1.0 demonstrates not only his reliability in defense but also his contribution to the team's offensive efforts.


On the Tigers' side, Spencer Torkelson, holding down first base, has been a notable player with an average of .250 and an OBP of .25 in their last encounter against the Royals. His performance has been steady, contributing significantly to his team's efforts both offensively and defensively with a perfect FPCT.
