Moncada went 2-for-4 with a double and four RBI in Friday's win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada plated a pair of runs in the first inning on a double to center and drove home two more in the seventh on a single to give his team a 9-8 lead. Following an impressive performance in the series opener, the 23-year-old third baseman is now 11-for-24 with two homers, 10 RBI and nine runs scored through six contests in 2019.

Moncada went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, double, two walks and three runs during an 8-3 victory against the Indians on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old went deep against the Indians bullpen, smashing his homer in a lopsided game during the eighth. Five of Moncada's nine hits this season have been for extra bases, as he now has three doubles and two homers. That gives him a dazzling .900 slugging percentage through about the first week of the season. He also supports a .522 on-base percentage in five games.

Moncada batted leadoff and went 1-for-4 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Monday's 5-3 loss to Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Leury Garcia, who had hit leadoff the first three games, was given the day off. Moncada has hit safely in all four games with extra-base hits in the last three. The White Sox gave him a good shot at leadoff in 2018, and Moncada may still end up there, but he was pretty comfortable at second spot during spring training (1.110 OPS) and has continued that into the regular season (1.150).

Moncada went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada has four hits over the first two games and hasn't struck out yet, which is notable for the 2018 AL strikeout leader. The White Sox's newest third baseman has continued the torrid hitting pace he established in spring training when he posted a .358 average and 1.110 OPS.

Moncada went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two runs scored Saturday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada is putting the finishing touches on an encouraging spring. He's slashing .356/.482/.689 with eight extra base hits over 56 plate appearances. Hidden among those batted-ball stats is an improved strikeout rate. Moncada fanned on 25 percent of his plate appearances, a drop from 33.4 percent in 2018 when he led the AL in strikeouts.

Moncada went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run and a walk in Friday's spring game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada plated three runs in the third inning on a deep fly to left field, notching his second home run this spring. He appears locked in at the plate, as he's gone 11-for-29 with seven RBI and eight runs scored in camp.

Moncada went 1-for-2 with a walk, a home run and two runs scored in Sunday's game against Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada had a good day in the field, executing all three of his chances, and continued to rake in the Cactus League. The 23-year-old third baseman is 10-for-27 (.370) with five walks, four extra-base hits and four RBI. The strikeouts are still an issue -- 10 in 32 plate appearances -- but not when he's posting a 1.098 spring OPS.

Moncada will be more aggressive in his at-bats this season, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. "I'm going to try to keep my same approach but be more aggressive with the borderline pitches, defend the strike zone better, and make more contact. I learned from last year. It's something I can improve and elevate my offense to another level," said Moncada.

EDGE Analysis

In addition to handling a position change from second base to third, Moncada vows not to be too picky at the plate. He made headlines last season when he led the AL in strikeouts with 217 (33.4 K%). Moncada and the White Sox feel his keen eye for the strike zone led to allowing hittable, borderline pitches go by for strikes.

Moncada started at third base and hit leadoff in his first game of spring training in Saturday's loss to the A's. He went 2-for-3 with a double.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Rick Renteria said Moncada could start at third base to begin the season and it looks like he'll get a test at the hot corner this spring. If Moncada moves to third base, Yolmer Sanchez would slide over to second base.

Manager Rick Renteria said could start at third base on Opening Day, Scot Gregor of the Chicago Daily Herald reports. "Don't be surprised if you see him there Opening Day," the manager said.

EDGE Analysis

Moncada has been working at third base recently, and it sounds like the White Sox are going to give him an opportunity to take over at the hot corner if he's able to hold his own there during camp. Per Gregor, Renteria noted that playing third base requires more focus, which the team hopes will carry over to Moncada's at-bats after he struck out in 33.4 percent of his plate appearances last season. Should Moncada open the season at third base, Yolmer Sanchez would slide over to cover the keystone.
