I ran a couple of polls on Twitter already gauging your guys’ thoughts on what the best developments for the Royals have been in 2022. Vinnie Pasquantino won the first one in a bit of a landslide and MJ Melendez is currently leading the second poll. I didn’t even give you guys the option to…
Man, it feels like just yesterday the minor league season started and I was diving into the Get to know a Royals prospect series to introduce readers to some of the fun prospects for the Kansas City Royals. Now the season has wrapped up and we are all preparing for a long offseason until we…
Recently, a follower of the Royals Farm Report twitter account named “Ryan Heffernon” expressed concern after watching a clip of a Gavin Cross home run. He quote tweeted the clip with the comment “I cannot unsee Ryan O’Hearn’s in his swing and that terrifies me.” Understandable. Royals fans are conditioned to expect the worst. Years…
Well it just seems like a perfect time to bring back the first ever series I did for Royals Farm Report last year! One of my favorite things about following Royals minor league baseball is trying to find the under-the-radar prospects in the organization that don’t get enough attention, but have the potential to explode.…
I know it’s been a rough year overall, but I honestly think there is more good than bad that we can take away from the Royals 2022 season and I’m cautiously optimistic about the direction of the organization. We’ll get into more season “review” in the actual offseason, but while we still have a month…
It’s time to dive into the August Players of the Month! You might be asking yourself, where is July? Life got the best of me (all good things) and unfortunately I missed bringing you the July players of the month. That’s on me! But I got you for August and September! For August, I also…
I tweeted out a preface for this article earlier this week. I was, frankly, kind of surprised at the results. I get that Bobby Witt Jr. is pretty clearly the most talented player on this team and provides the Royals with the potential for a generational type of All-Star that can anchor a lineup for…
Back in May I wrote this article titled “11 Numbers I’m Watching Early On” that was basically a combination of things we were looking for during preseason and things that stood out to us after a month of play on the farm. I wanted to take a chance now to revisit all 11 of those…

Baseball America, MLB Pipeline, and us here at RFR have all released some version of a midseason ranking for Royals prospects. I thought it would be a fun exercise to compare those lists and see where everybody was at with certain guys in the system. So here you go: Ranking RFR BA MLB 1 Gavin…
First, if you haven’t yet, check out the consensus midseason top-50, which is an aggregate of the rankings from a few different Royals prospect writers. Honorable Mentions 50-31 30-21 20-11 10-6 5-1 I was one of the people asked to contribute a top-50 of my own, and I must say, my thoughts differ significantly from…
Alright alright alright. As I mentioned on our Honorable Mention list the other day, our midseason list is never as detailed as our preseason list. So, this is more of an inventory check than a full write-up like we do preseason. As always, our lists are an aggregate of several folks that vote on individual…
