We’re 18 games deep into the Kansas City Royals’ spring schedule. That’s more than half of the 32 contests between the start of the Cactus League and Opening Day. By now, there’s a solid amount of sample to make decisions from, even if it’s still certainly a small sample by baseball standards. The front office…

Lou Avila I wrote a report card about Lou Avila in October of 2024 and I mentioned his elite stuff being incredibly impressive after taking a huge step forward last year. I am not as surprised by the incredible display of intangible skills Avila shows as some others are, but he has been a real…

A season ago, the Low-A Columbia Fireflies offered one of the more intriguing rosters in the Kansas City Royals farm system. The team’s top prospect, catcher Blake Mitchell, headlined the group. Others, including Emmanuel Reyes, Blake Wolters, and Austin Charles, rounded out the top names in the group. Into the season, Hiro Wyatt and Hyungchan…

I don’t need to convince you that the 2025 Kansas City Royals need more production from their outfield. That is a known fact and one of the biggest topics of conversation among Royals’ fans and media this offseason. Possibly because of the lack of free agent moves in the outfield, a few players in the…

The upside that the Royals hoped for in 2018 when they drafted a crop full of college pitchers never panned out. Granted, it’s still a work in progress. Brady Singer pieced together a couple of strong seasons before netting the Royals their 2025 leadoff man. Kris Bubic offers a promising upside as he looks to……

There are many ways to look at a team’s farm system, from Top 30 rankings to depth charts. One of my favorite methods each offseason comes in the form of my Royals “All-Prospect” Team. 2025 marks the third straight year of releasing the list.
