Mondesi, 20, is batting .280/.333/.640 with two home runs, six RBI and four steals through six games at Double-A Northwest Arkansas.
This could be the breakout season for Mondesi, who has always had a bit more speed than power, though still may be developing a power stroke at his young age. He has been pushed hard by the Royals, but has not been overwhelmed at any level thus far. Mondesi is on pace to battle for a big-league roster spot in 2017.
