Whit Merrifield Stretches Hit Streak With HR
6 years agoKansas City Royals second baseman/outfielder Whit Merrifield drilled his first home run of the season on Saturday to extend his 2019 hit streak. Merrifield has now hit safely in all seven games this year, and he's filled up the score sheet by already racking up a double, a triple, a home run, eight runs scored, four RBI, and two stolen bases. While the Royals may not be a very good team this year, it won't be because of Merrifield. He should have no problem repeating last year's success, and he could be a surprise top-25 player this season, especially if the youngsters behind him can drive him home with some consistency.
