KC Royals Projections: Nicky Lopez will keep it up

Summarized by: Live Sports Direct
 

Nicky Lopez had a bad Spring Training and was assigned to the minor leagues. Lopez was forced to play shortstop for the Royals due to injuries to Adalberto Mondesi. He played to his own strengths and hit over .315 in each month from June to September. In the 2021 season, Lopez became the first Royals shortstop to hit a qualified .300 in a season.

Baseball Reference and FanGraphs project Nicky Lopez to play well for the KC Royals.

Nicky Lopez will play for the 2022 KC Royals. Baseball Reference and FanGraphs predict him to have a .270 average. Lopez's .365 OBP from last season proves he can be trusted to get on base. He will get more time at the top of the lineup.
