Mike Moustakas

Moustakas attended Chatsworth High School in Chatsworth, Los Angeles, California, where he was a four-year starter in baseball.

Moustakas attempted to be a two-sport player for Chatsworth, but a broken ankle suffered in his first game as quarterback for the Chancellors ended his football career, and nearly ended his baseball career. However, after three months of rehabilitation, Moustakas was able to resume playing baseball.{{cite news|last=Sondheimer|first=Eric|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2006-oct-13-sp-hssondcol13-story.html|title=Athletes' Mental Health Still Should Be Top Priority|newspaper=The Los Angeles Times|date=October 13, 2006|access-date=January 4, 2013}} In 2006, Moustakas was a member of USA Baseball's Junior National Team, competing in the World Junior Championships in Cuba.

Entering 2009, Moustakas was widely regarded as one of the top baseball prospects in all of minor league baseball. The Sporting News ranked Moustakas as the 13th-best prospect overall,{{cite web|url=http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/prospects/rankings/top-100-prospects/2009/267698.html |title=Prospects: Rankings: Top 100 Prospects: Top 100 Prospects: 1–20 |publisher=BaseballAmerica.com |date=February 24, 2009 |access-date=August 31, 2010}} while MLB.com listed Moustakas as their 11th-best prospect in all of baseball.{{cite web|url=http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/minorleagues/prospects/y2009/ |title=Top Prospects | MLB.com: Minors |publisher=Mlb.mlb.com |access-date=August 31, 2010}} Moustakas, however, had trouble adjusting to the Carolina League in 2009. While his power remained, his ability to hit for a high average went down significantly as he adjusted to the new level of competition. Moustakas' power and average quickly returned to form after being called up to Double-A ball the following year — as of July 13, 2010, Moustakas was hitting .352 with 21 homers and 76 runs batted in (RBIs) in AA Northwest Arkansas.

He finished the season batting .212, while hitting 15 homers and driving in 54 runs. Moustakas tore through the 2014 postseason, hitting five home runs, including a go-ahead solo shot in the 11th inning of Game 1 against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. He led all 2014 postseason players in homers. The Royals would then lose to the San Francisco Giants in the 2014 World Series.

In 2015, Moustakas carried over his success from the postseason and had a batting average at or above .300 right up until the All-Star break. He was selected to the 2015 All-Star Game via the All-Star Game Final Vote. On May 15 against the Yankees, he went 4-for-5 with a homer shy for hitting for the cycle. Moustakas was placed on the family emergency list twice during the first half of the 2015 season.

He hit a grand slam, a three-run home run and a two-run single in the 14–6 win. In 147 games, Moustakas batted .284 with 22 home runs and 82 RBI. The Royals won the World Series against the New York Mets to win the franchise's first world championship in 30 years.

On May 7, 2016, Moustakas was placed on the 15-day disabled list due to a fractured left thumb. On May 22, Moustakas suffered a right knee injury while colliding with teammate Alex Gordon in an attempt to fetch a pop up in foul territory. The next day, an MRI revealed that there was a torn ACL in the knee, ending Moustakas' 2016 season.{{cite web|url=https://www.mlb.com/news/royals-mike-moustakas-has-right-knee-injury-c180406208|title=Moustakas has torn ACL, out for season|date=May 26, 2016|last=Thornburg|first=Chad|publisher=Major League Baseball|work=MLB.com|access-date=May 26, 2016}}
