And they rank seventh with a 43% hard hit rate.
But it hasn't been translating into hits.
And Vinny said, hey, man, I'd rather hit the ball 70 miles an hour and get a hit.

But it is an indicator that things will turn around.
I mean, that's one of the leading – if you're pointing to a statistic that's like, hey, our offense should get going, it is how hard you hit the ball, especially on average.
So there's better days coming for the Royals ahead, especially with their offense.
He won eight innings, lowered his ERA to .43.
