Phil Hiatt was drafted by the Royals in the 8th round of the 1990 June Amateur Draft to be the heir apparent to Kevin Seitzer at third base. Hiatt, who played for Kansas City in 1993 and 1995, finished his Royal career with 11 HR’s, 48 RBI and a line of .278/.367/.645. He then went on to appear at the major league level for the Tigers and Dodgers, completing his career with 170 games played and 422 at bats. Phil recently joined Dave O to talk about coming up through the Royals system, jumping straight from AA to the Big Leagues, his times in Japan and most interestingly, a very bold and honest self-assessment of the label “Four A Player.” (Photo Courtesy Kansas City Royals)
