Some thoughts about the Royals and the trade deadline
This felt like it was going to be way too many characters for a tweet thread on Twitter, so I figured I would organize some thoughts here really quick as we’ve got just over a month until the 2021 trade deadline comes to a pass. Before we get into any roster thoughts, I hope we’ve…

AAA Omaha (29-12): W 7-4 The best record in MiLB will stay in Omaha for at least another day. Emmanuel Rivera continues to be an absolute terror for opposing pitchers. He finished Sunday’s game 3-4 with HR #13 and 2B #10, pushing his season average to .303 and his OPS to .980. Remember, he started…

A new article we’ll have out (hopefully) every Monday morning this year is going to be a standing of different statistical leaders across all levels of the Royals MiLB system.

I recently wrote down some thoughts I had watching Asa Lacy pitch. You can find those here. Lacy’s fastball is a bear to deal with. If he’s putting it on the inner half of the plate like this, A-ball hitters won’t touch it. It’s too much. It’s thrown too hard, spins too fast, from too…
Some thoughts on Asa Lacy’s last start
After striking out 9 batters in 4.1 IP on Friday night, Asa Lacy’s current season stats look like this: 23 IP (7 starts), 14.09 K/9 (34% K%), 7.43 BB/9 (17.9% BB%), 1.17 HR/9 (14.3% HR/FB), 6.65 ERA, 4.97 FIP If you remove the first two starts he made, his first two professional starts that totaled…

Check out our weekly MiLB leaderboard here. Home Runs 1.) Vinnie Pasquantino – 102.) Nick Pratto / Bobby Witt Jr. / Gabriel Cancel – 95.) Ryan McBroom – 8 The way the Royals have handled some of their top pitching prospects is kind of interesting, but we’re by no means concerned just yet. These are…
The handling of some of KC’s pitching prospects is interesting, but not cause for concern
The Royals have had some pretty non-traditional paths for their top pitching prospects so far, but this shouldn’t be a cause for concern just yet.
