## Resource

Kevin McGonigle is rewriting rookie narratives with elite plate discipline, a .285 average, and a .394 on-base percentage—walking more than striking out. He’s third in MLB for avoiding pitches outside the zone, connects at over 91% on strikes, and ranks fifth in OBP with two strikes. His disciplined approach, honed in the minors, is translating to big-league success without power, making him one of the most valuable position players in baseball right now.
