Scouting Report: Michael Massey
Kansas City Royals | 2B
Overall
Summary
Michael Massey is in a platoon role at second base for the Kansas City Royals following Jonathan India's season-ending shoulder surgery. Massey has struggled significantly early in the season, hitting .215/.243/.385 with a 64 OPS+ and minus-0.2 bWAR across 24 starts and 70 plate appearances. However, he has shown recent signs of life, hitting two home runs in his last four games after going deep just once in his first 23 contests. He struck out 21 times against only 3 walks, indicating significant swing-and-miss issues. The Royals are in a five-game winning streak, but analysts suggest the front office should consider a trade deadline upgrade if Massey doesn't improve soon.
Strengths
- Recent power surge with 2 home runs in last 4 games
