Summary
Kevin McGonigle’s rookie season is a rollercoaster of brilliance and blunders—his 16th homer and 36th multi-hit game this year have him on track for AL Rookie of the Year, but a costly baserunning gaffe in a Twins game reminded everyone he’s still learning. After a patient at-bat and a single, he got caught off base on a double play, a mistake Hinch called “a bad read” and McGonigle admitted was a “learning moment.” Still, his swing tweaks are paying off with back-to-back homers, and his consistent at-bats keep him in the lineup and batting high. Despite late-season dips, his impact and upside make him the clear frontrunner for Rookie of the Year. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
