Mark Grudzielanek has been outstanding this season for the Royals offensively, but his defense has been overlooked. He hasn’t committed one error yet this season in 52 games (242 chances). His errorless streak now stands at 70 straight games—stretching back to last season in St. Louis. His 52–game streak to begin the season is the third-longest by a second baseman since 2000. Luis Gonzalez had an 83–game streak in 2005 and Damion Easley had a 60–game streak in 2000. Since 2004, Grudzielanek is second among all current major league second baseman with a .990 fielding percentage (12 errors in 1,263 chances).
