Aaron Sabato has forearms built for a lumberjack. He is incredibly strong and is a masher that can launch balls as far as anyone in the college game. Sabato is limited to first base defensively so he will have to hit but it looks like he can hit and hit for power. Sabato steps slightly…
We are getting closer and closer to Draft Day! We still have a lot of things to look at and players to evaluate before we get there. Today is another top arm out of the SEC. If you haven’t figured it out yet, the SEC is the best conference for college baseball from top to…
I had never watched Meyer pitch until this spring. I had heard about him, but didn’t start looking at players until about January. Pretty much anyone who pitches for Team USA is really good, so I knew he was good. I don’t think anyone realized how good he was. I was impressed and knew he…
Detmers wasn’t a guy I initially thought about the Royals drafting. Not because he isn’t talented, but because he doesn’t have the high-end stuff that a Hancock or Lacy have. Granted his stuff is very good and he is one of the top NCAA arms in the nation. He has been mentioned somewhere starting around…
Yeah, this is probably a pipe dream. Torkelson is being mocked number one overall in multiple drafts. But as Lloyd once told Mary Swanson, “So you’re saying there’s a chance!” This would be a dream scenario for the Royals is Torkelson fell to them at fourth. I wrote the profile up for him with no…
Hancock has been and still is in the conversation to go number one overall. He is that strong of a pitcher. Typically, it seems that people will go for the bat first leaving Hancock to fall a few spots to a team’s draft room ruckus in celebration. I mean, if I’m the Royals picking at…
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…
Mlodzinski (pronounced ma-Jinsk-ee) should be a quick mover in any team’s system. He doesn’t have a great track record if you just look at his stats after having his sophomore season cut short due to a broken foot, but he still has immense upside. The makers of the mocks have been overlooking him recently…
Zac Veen is a high school kid with tremendous potential. There are several of us at RFR who would make Veen our pick if we had the choice. Find out why below. With the MLB Draft approaching, it’s time to start looking at some potential picks the Royals could end up making. I’ll profile one…
With the MLB Draft approaching, it’s time to start looking at some potential picks the Royals could end up making. I’ll profile one player every day excluding Sunday leading up until the draft assuming it happens June 10 like the rumors have reported. Some of these players will not be available to the Royals, but…
It’s that time of the year, Major League Baseball’s annual draft. This year may be different as there may not be any baseball played before the picks are in, but that doesn’t change our hype around the draft. As Royals fans, we have been looking forward to the last few drafts in particular because of…
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…
Welcome back. This is now the third edition of our preseason prospect rankings here at Royals Farm Report. Before we get into the rankings, there is a lot that has changed here at the site that I want to catch you up on. First of all, our founding father and fearless leader, Patrick Brennan (@paintingcorner),…
As Spring Training gets underway, players all over the Cactus and Grapefruit Leagues are getting back into the swing of things. Some are having a “been there, done that” sort of moment, as the newness of the experience has long since worn off. For many of the younger prospects, however, it’s a time to hone…
It’s baseball season, and people approach that in different ways. Some dive head first into spring training hope. Some ignore it until the regular seasons starts. Some make up increasingly elaborate stories to coverup cheating scandals. To each his own. I’m starting this spring by thinking about which prospects I want to follow this season.…
