The potential is there, but MJ is running out of time to show it

MJ Melendez has started his fourth year in the Major Leagues, his age-26 season. From a position change of catcher to outfield because of struggles behind the dish, to declining every year at the plate. It’s simply time for MJ Melendez to step up and prove to the Royals he can be a valuable contributor to the team.

Statistically, MJ on offense has gone backwards every year.
