How to prepare for baseball before baseball season starts royalsreview.com/royals-editori…


Not enough people talk about Willie Wilson • .285/.326/.376 (.702 OPS), 94 OPS+ • Another MLB great from Alabama • 2207 hits, 1169 runs, 668 SB (!) • 2x All-Star, 2x Silver Slugger • 1st round pick by KC in 1974 • Won a Gold Glove in 1980 • Won a batting title in 1982 • 1985 WS Champion with KC • 12th-most stolen bases ever • Received MVP votes in 4 years • Top Similarity Score: Juan Pierre • Played 19 years in the big leagues • Batted .367 (.820 OPS) in 1985 WS • 230 H, 133 R, .326 BA, 79 SB in 1980 • Had 40+ SB 7x, but only led league 1x • #1 all-time in LF Range Factor per 9 inn. • Drafted out of Summit HS in New Jersey • (Only player from Summit HS to reach MLB) • Only player EVER with 120 Rbaser & 100 Rfield • Willie Wilson in 1980 recorded 1 of 20 seasons in MLB history with at least 230 hits and 130 runs scored; the only other player to do so since WWII was Stan Musial, and the only other player to do so with 70+ SB was Ty Cobb















@royalsreview I'm sure with all of the stats out there, can somebody tell me what BWJ is hitting on first pitches that he swings at? It seems he's already following this philosophy.
