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.

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…

When the Royals drafted Nick Loftin with the 32nd pick in the 2020 draft, we all knew that he was a polished college hitter with a low walk rate. He started his professional career at High-A Quad Cities in 2021 where we saw the start of a promising career as he batted .289/.372/.463 with 10…

Our mid-season rankings will begin to drop on Friday morning with the Honorable Mentions, and then we’ll get into our…

The Royals have been active at the trade deadline thus far with more potential moves to come in the future. It remains to be seen whether Whit Merrifield, Michael A. Taylor, Hunter Dozier, Scott Barlow, or Josh Staumont remain in a Royals uniform after August 2nd. After the Andrew Benintendi trade today, JJ Picollo even…
