Adelyn French gives Kansas City a versatile left-side spark with gap power
In the 2026 season, freshman OF Adelyn French has been a steady run producer for Kansas City, batting .262 with a .692 OPS, 11 hits, 9 RBI, and extra-base pop that includes a triple and two doubles in 21 games (15 starts). She has already shown she can change games with timely RBI hits and aggressive bases-loaded or gap-contact at-bats, including multiple multi-RBI performances. For a team looking for a young outfielder with upside, contact skill, and game-breaking speed-power flashes, French looks like a useful fit with more growth ahead.
