Joshua profiles Bubba Starling in “Royals Call Up Bubba Starling”.
You may have already heard that Bubba Starling, the pride of Gardner, Kansas, is finally bringing his talents to Kansas City. Royals Farm Report couldn’t be more excited for Bubba! Despite the ups and downs of injuries, poor performance, and the pressure of being the 5th overall pick in the 2011 draft, Bubba Starling is finally a Kansas City Royals big leaguer.

Ryan O’Hearn went deep again. Finished 1-4 with a HR and a walk. Was slashing .289/.349/.553/.901 over his last 10 games heading into tonight with a double and 3 HR.

Jecksson Flores also went deep tonight, his 6th.
Scott Barlow didn’t allow a hit in 2 innings in relief for Omaha tonight. K’d 2, BB’d 2.

Richard Lovelady K’d 1 in a perfect inning.
Nick Dini was lifted from tonight’s game in the 8th inning in Omaha after going 2-3 with a walk. I legitimately don’t know if that’s noteworthy or not. Probably just a defensive replacement, but…

Bryan Brickhouse just dominated the Drillers in the 8th inning with a pair of K's on 11 pitches (10 strikes).

Mid 8: #NWANaturals 2, Drillers 0
Pitcher to watch in the 2nd half is Bryan Brickhouse. Last year he got touched up hard at AA as he was regaining feel for the breaking ball. Seems to have found a usable one and is getting swing/miss. 15K vs 36 AA hitters so far in his reintroduction to the level.
— Clint Scoles (@ClintScoles) July 13, 2019
Nick Heath like so others had a poor start to the year but has hit pretty well for the last month plus, 32 games .287/.361/.473. With his 80 grade speed is a definite Rule 5 candidate to look at this year.
— Clint Scoles (@ClintScoles) July 13, 2019
Josh Staumont has pretty much owned RHH this year. .114/.288/.210 against him with a 35% K-rate.
— Clint Scoles (@ClintScoles) July 12, 2019
17 yo (July 6) RHP Luis Del Rosa went 3 IP 3 H 0 BB 5 K today for DSL Royals, he's one to pay attention to.
— Clint Scoles (@ClintScoles) July 12, 2019
MJ Melendez (@mjmelendez7) continues to turn the year around. After the break, he’s started returning to form at the plate.

Last 16 games:
– .250/.393/.458
– 4 doubles
– 2 HRs
– 12 walks/16 strikeouts
Still a dominant defensive catcher as well.@KingsofKauffman
Keeping the updates moving:

Brett Phillips last 38 games:
– .313/.429/.643
– 3 doubles
– 7 triples
– 7 HRs
– 29 strikeouts/23 walks
Considering what he was hitting his first 39 games (.165/.331/.306), this is a great turnaround.@KingsofKauffman
