KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Drew Waters believes he’s found a new hitting approach in the Royals’ system — a worldview that immediately paid dividends in his first Major League game Monday.
Waters delivered the game-winning RBI in the eighth inning with a bases-loaded walk, helping to push the Royals to a 6-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox at Kauffman Stadium.
Before the game, Waters spoke to reporters about the changes he’d made hitting-wise since getting traded from the Atlanta Braves to the Royals’ organization last month. He gave credit to Royals’ minor-league coaches for helping him to focus on simply trying to do damage to vulnerable pitches.
