Mike Macfarlane played eleven seasons with the Kansas City Royals where the workmanlike Catcher would serve as a rock for the team. A good defensive Catcher who expertly handled his staff, Macfarlane wasn’t known for his offensive spark, but he did have good power numbers. Macfarlane had a 20 Home Run season in 1993 with five other 10 Home Run campaigns. Notably, he also led the American League twice in being Hit by Pitches.
As a Royal, Macfarlane accumulated 717 Hits.
