Per the request of one of our followers, I threw together a depth chart for the Kansas City Royals organization, all the way down to Low-A ball. Understand that these aren’t necessarily in any particular order after the starters, but it should help put a place on Royals prospects. The Pitchers The Position Players So…
I made a list so that you don’t have to click through every article we wrote to find our top 75 list anymore. Thought this might be more convenient. In case you wanted to read all of the individual write-ups, however, here they are: 75-61 60-51 50-46 45-36 35-26 25-16 15-11 10-7 6-3 2-1 1.…
Welcome back. This version of our prospect rankings will look eerily similar to the rankings we released in our E-Book right before the MLB Draft at the very beginning of June. We made some minor tweaks to the rankings themselves, but most of the changes will simply reflect the prospects that Kansas City added through…
With tonight’s MLB Draft (watch on MLB Network starting at 6 pm) looming, there are going to be plenty of story lines worth watching. Here are just a few, for example: In what order are Rutschman and Witt Jr. selected? Will Baltimore throw us through a loop? When does Andrew Vaughn get taken? How will…
With the offseason getting started, we’ve seen the Royals decline Alex Gordon’s $23 million mutual option for 2020. Of course there’s still plenty of decisions for Dayton Moore and the Royals to make this off season. Free agency has already started but listed below are important dates for the rest of the off season. November…
There are a lot of things to like about Edwin Rios aside from the fact that he gave my then 5-year-old son a bat in Springdale while he was with Tulsa. I am interested in his power and the fact that he is blocked in the Dodgers organization at two positions the Royals have needs. …
Zach Haake (pronounced like the word hockey) was a 6th round pick by the Royals in the 2018 draft. The 6’4″ right-handed pitcher out of the University of Kentucky had somewhat of a tough college career pitching both out of the pen and in the rotation. Haake is another one of those tall, lanky, hard-throwing…
Back in March, I tried to bring some attention to Royals relief prospect Tyler Zuber. Zuber was a 2017 sixth round draft pick who got very little to sign. However, he was expected to move fairly quickly as a relief guy. I wrote that I thought Zuber would be the next top relief prospect after…
With the off season comes the hope of a new season. A chance to not be insignificant when you look at the AL Central standings in September of the next season. But the off season should also bring reflection. A realistic look at what was done well, okay, and what was trash. You can go…
With the World Series behind us, Gerrit Cole wearing Boras gear to his team press conference, and our first snow last night it’s officially the 2019-2020 off season. The Royals started their off season officially making headlines for us this morning announcing the hiring of Mike Matheny as the new manager. The move isn’t a…
Interviewing Charlie Neuweiler Q: Your fastball velo has reportedly been around 90-92 mph. Do you know what your spin rate is like? How has the development of your fastball velocity been coming along? “I’m not exactly sure what my fastball spin rate is but I believe it’s around average or a little above average. Between…
