Whit Merrifield Tallies Two Hits, Steals Another Base
3 years agoKansas City Royals second baseman/outfielder Whit Merrifield has been running wild so far in August. In Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees, he went 2-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and two runs scored. He has now stolen a base in three straight games and he has a total of five stolen bases over just nine games this month. Merrifield leads the majors with 32 stolen bases on the year and he's only been caught stealing once. He currently has a career-low batting average (.268) and he's only managed to hit eight home runs over 112 games, but the stolen bases alone have made him an elite fantasy asset this year.
