Top Performers from the Royals


Vinnie Pasquantino, playing first base for the Royals, has been a force to be reckoned with. Over his last three games, he's shown remarkable consistency and power at the plate. His performance peaked in the game against the Reds on August 17th, where he boasted an impressive batting average of .600 and an on-base percentage (OBP) of .667. Across these games, Pasquantino's slugging percentage (SLG) stood out at .800 during one match and his overall performance yielded an on-base plus slugging (OPS) of 1.467, highlighting his ability to contribute significantly both in getting on base and advancing runners.


Another Royal worth mentioning is Michael Massey. His prowess was particularly notable in one of the previous matchups where he achieved a batting average of .750 and an OBP of .75. Massey's versatility and ability to deliver when it counts have made him an invaluable asset to Kansas City.
