You hear it all the time. “His fastball is too straight.” “His fastball has really great run to it.” “He gets some great arm-side movement to his fastball.” “He really needs to work on getting some movement to his 4-seamer.” It’s something that scouts and hitters and broadcasters and coaches and front office personnel have…
The MLB trade deadline is in about 5 hours at the time of writing this. At 3 pm today, no more trades will be allowed to be made in baseball. The Royals still have a few pieces that other teams will certainly be inquiring on and the Royals need to be open to listening if…
Hunter Dozier has been absolutely destroying baseballs for the last couple years. I don’t want to spend too much time on a complete breakdown of his professional career, so we’ll make it quick: 2013 – Drafted, made it to Lexington, raked 2014 – Crushed Wilmington, got to AA 2015 – Struggled a bit at AA…

Joel and Alex were joined by former Kansas City Royal Les Norman to talk about the cultural changes seen in the organization since the hiring of Dayton Moore, and how Mike Matheny adds to that. Also bits about Alex Gordon, Whit Merrifield, Salvy, etc. Spotify iTunes
I don’t know about you, but I am absolutely in love with this current rotation that the Royals are running out there. Every single day there is something to look forward to on the mound: Brad Keller still has a 0.00 ERA and has asserted himself as this team’s ace Danny Duffy is currently pacing…
We caught up with Shane Summers, Producer and Engineer of “The Zone” on 810 WHB in Kansas City from 10-2 Spotify iTunes
The Kansas City Royals offense has been absolutely dynamic lately as the team is 4-1 in its last five games. Jorge Soler, Whit Merrifield, and Salvador Perez, the stalwarts in the lineup, have been fantastic all year. Hunter Dozier has looked great since returning to the lineup. Ryan McBroom and Ryan O’Hearn have been a…

On episode 20 of the Royals Farm Report podcast, we caught up with Jeff Ellis and talked some MLB Draft back in March. This was pre-shutdown so, yeah. Spotify link On episode 21, we had Cody Tapp from 610 Sports Radio KC and Clint Scoles of Royals Academy on to recap the draft. Spotify link…
I was perhaps more excited to watch Alec Marsh pitch this season than any other prospect in the system. Marsh tweeted a video of himself earlier this year pumping 97 mph, which certainly piqued my interest: Three digits coming soon… pic.twitter.com/mgoWzJsBzT — Alec Marsh (@AlecMarsh8) May 21, 2020 Coming out of college, Marsh was a…
Well, I should be introducing our 2020 draft day coverage with a brief update on how some of Kansas City’s top prospects are performing. We should be excited about the fact that Jackson Kowar has a 0.57 ERA for the Omaha Storm Chasers. We ought to be marveling at the fact that Bobby Witt Jr.…
Austin Martin is arguably the best draft-eligible prospect in the 2020 MLB draft class. The junior out of Jacksonville, FL, started for Vanderbilt as a freshman back in 2018 and immediately put himself in position to be drafted early on in this year’s draft. As a sophomore at Vandy, Martin was the starting third baseman…
I’m not entirely sure how it happens, but it seems like every year we accidentally leave a couple of guys off this list on accident that had no business being off of the list. We cover them extensively at the site, and somehow forget to add them to the list when we do our aggregate…
