Welcome back. If you’re new here, we ran these updates weekly last year. I’ll try to do that again in 2022, but I make no promises as I have a 9-month old and have been much busier at home than in years past. Here’s a link to one of the leaderboards from last year in case you want to check out what they used to look like.
Anyway. For this year, I’m going to enter the numbers into a table and put the table into these articles. I’m not entirely sure if that will be better or worse…but we’re at least going to give it a go for a while. The point of these isn’t supposed to be a measuring contest or anything. Just a fun update on how some of the Royals prospects are performing and who leads the minors in particular categories. I hope you’ll enjoy them as such.
