A former account executive and sales manager with multiple Kansas-based TV stations, Scott Sjoberg serves as the owner and operator of Right at Home, which is among the fastest-growing home-care agencies in Kansas City. When he isn't working to grow the company, Scott Sjoberg enjoys watching his favorite Major League Baseball (MLB) team, the Kansas City Royals.
Not only did the Royals fail to make the playoffs for the third consecutive season, the team also won its fewest games (58) since the 2005 season, when it posted a win-loss record of 56-106. Moreover, these 58 wins were the third-fewest posted by the team in a single season since it joined the MLB in 1969. The franchise experienced record attendance figures of more than 2.71 million through 81 home games during its World Series-winning campaign in 2015, but that figure has declined in each successive year. Only 1.67 million people attended games in 2018, which was the fewest since 2010.
Catcher Salvador Perez led the team in home runs (27) and RBI (80), while Mike Moustakas, who was dealt to the Milwaukee Brewers before the trade deadline, finished second in both categories with 20 home runs and 62 RBI. Twenty-two-year-old shortstop Adalberto Mondesi had a breakthrough season as he recorded 14 home runs and 37 RBI across only 75 games, while 25-year-old pitcher Jakob Junis led all starting pitchers in wins (9) and achieved a 4.37 ERA to go along with 164 strikeouts in 177 innings.
