Utility Man Deluxe Royals' Wathan Plays Key Role
John Wathan, dubbed the best utility player by teammates and Whitey Herzog, anchors Kansas City's lineup by filling catcher duties and filling multiple positions. He carried the Royals early season with near .400 runs batted in, then settled around .301. His resilience followed a family tragedy, and he remains determined to prove he can be an everyday player across four positions.
