In addition to his role as partner with Right at Home, Kansas City's fastest-growing home care agency, Scott Sjoberg is the owner and operator of KCMetroGolf.com. Beyond his varied professional pursuits, Scott Sjoberg is a passionate fan of Major League Baseball (MLB) and the Kansas City Royals.The Royals missed the playoffs for a third consecutive season in 2018 and finished with its fewest wins (58) since 2005. The off-season has only just begun, but the team has already cut ties with players Brandon Maurer, Paulo Orlando, and Ramon Torres. A 28-year-old right-handed pitcher acquired from the San Diego Padres, Maurer opted to become a free agent instead of accepting an assignment to the team's Triple-A affiliate, while both Orlando and Torres will be minor league free agents after being sent outright to Triple-A. Maurer struggled upon being acquired in 2017 and didn't fare much better in 2018. Through 51 and one-third combined innings with the Royals, he managed 52 strikeouts, but also allowed 11 home runs and posted a disappointing 7.89 earned run average. Orlando was a member of the Royals' 2015 World Series squad and is one of only five players from Brazil ever to make it to MLB. Through four seasons with the team, he registered a .263 batting average to go along with 14 home runs and 81 runs batted in. Torres, meanwhile, is an infielder who only had 102 at-bats with Kansas City over the past two seasons.
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.
