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. As of May 31st, these don’t matter that much, if at all. As I mentioned previously, this is more or less just for fun and record keeping this early on. Don’t put too much stock in MiLB stats this early in the season. Anyway, enjoy!
