Lorenzo Cain started his Major League career with the Milwaukee Brewers, but it only lasted for 46 games as he was traded after the 2010 season to the Kansas City Royals. In Kansas City, Cain played mostly in the minors during his first two years, but he entered the 2013 season as the Royals' starting center fielder. Although it was not a great start for Cain as a starter, with 100 hits and losing his starting role to Jarrod Dyson, he came back strong in 2014 with 142 hits and a batting average of .301. That year, Kansas City made it to the World Series, with Cain winning the ALCS batting .533 with eight hits in a sweep over Baltimore.

Cain's best season came in 2015 when the Royals won the World Series Championship. The speedy outfielder was an All-Star for the first time and was third in MVP voting. Cain hit 16 home runs, his personal best, and batted .307 with a career-best .838 OPS. He continued to have good years, batting .300 in 2017 with 175 hits and was an All-Star in 2018 in his first season back in Milwaukee. Cain played a few more years and accumulated 1,220 hits over his career.

After being drafted in the 17^th Round in 2004, Lorenz Cain defied the odds and made the main roster for Milwaukee in 2004.  He only played 43 Games for the Blue Brew Crew before being traded to Kansas City as part of six-man trade.  The Royals treated Cain well, and he would win the World Series with them in 2015, but he returned to the Brewers in 2018 as a Free Agent.

Lorenzo Cain played for Kansas City for seven seasons and he was arguably the team’s spark plug for much of that time.
