Merrifield extends hitting streak to 29 games:
Whit Merrifield , The Canadian Pressis more than halfway to matching Joe DiMaggio's famous hitting streak.
"I didn't even know I had a streak going until the off-season when someone told me I finished on 20 games," Merrifield said Sunday."I was concerned with getting all the hits, and leading the league in hits." "As part of my routine goes, nothing changes. I'd be lying if I said you don't think about it," Merrifield said."You try to stay with your approach as best you can. Hopefully you get a hit your first at-bat, so you can relax the rest of the game, and play your game. To say I'm not thinking about it would be a lie."
Expectations are considerably lower this year for Kansas City, but the 30-year-old Merrifield is a bright spot. In a sport gravitating toward home runs and strikeouts, he fits in with the Royals, who are trying to take a step forward by building around speed. Merrifield stole 45 bases in 2018.
