Mondesi is a candidate to bat leadoff for the Royals this season Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.

Mondesi primarily hit late in the order last season, though he spent several games in the second spot. He has the speed of a prototypical leadoff hitter but may not get on base enough for the role, as his on-base percentage even in an exciting half season last year was still just .306. Still, moving up in the order would be a boost to his fantasy value, as it would come with more opportunities to steal, more runs and more at-bats overall.
