The Royals lead the Angels two games to none in the ALDS thanks, surprisingly, to their power. Their 95 home runs were the fewest in baseball by a wide margin during the regular season, yet Mike Moustakas and Eric Hosmer provided extra-inning blasts in Games 1 and 2, respectively.

By now we all know Kansas City's offense is based mostly on speed, with guys like Alcides Escobar, Lorenzo Cain and Jarrod Dyson leading the way. September call-up Terrance Gore has also had an impact on the bases in the postseason, stealing three bases in three pinch-running appearances. Here's the bag he stole off Huston Street and Chris Iannetta in the ninth inning of Game 2 on Friday:

Street isn't great at holding runners (they were 7-for-7 in steal attempts against him in the regular season) but Iannetta threw runners out at an above-average rate this year (30 percent), yet Gore had that throw beat by a mile. Just to drive home the point, here's where the ball was on Iannetta's throw when Gore touched second:

Like I said, by a mile. Gore got an absurd jump and his pure speed took over from there. I can't help but wonder if, had Gore never broken stride and kept going, if he could have reached third base before shortstop Erick Aybar caught Iannetta's throw, turned towards third, and made the throw. Probably not, but the fact that it isn't a totally insane question is a testament to Gore's speed.

The 23-year-old Gore is not any kind of top prospect despite that game-changing speed because, frankly, he can't hit. He spent most of the summer in High-A Class this year, where he put up a .211/.289/.257 batting line. He's never hit a home run in 330 career minor league games, though he is 168-for-185 (91 percent!) in stolen base attempts. I have no idea how anyone throws this guy out.

Speed is an unteachable skill and it will keep Gore employed for a long time, even if he's nothing more than a career minor leaguer who comes up every September to wreak havoc on the bases. Teams keep these guys around for the sole purpose of stealing bases off the bench late in the season and postseason.
