In my last post, I profiled the three Royals hitting prospects currently playing in the AFL with the Surprise Saguaros: Blake Mitchell, Daniel Vazquez, and Carson Roccaforte. The Saguaros have a double header today, and both Vazquez and Roccaforte had solid performances at the plate in a 6-3 win over the Glendale Desert Dogs in… Read More An Early Check In On Royals Pitchers In The AFL
The Arizona Fall League is in full swing, as the Surprise Saguaros, which has prospects in the Royals system, are 5-4, good for second in the AFL standings. Kansas City has eight players on the Surprise roster (five pitchers and three hitters), as well as a manager and strength coach, as highlighted by the Raising… Read More An Early Check In On Royals Hitters in the AFL
The postseason is still going on, so while the Royals are in “offseason” mode, the rest of the league isn’t quite there just yet. That won’t happen until after the World Series, when the baseball world transitions from “postseason” mode to “hot stove” mode. Thus, there is still time for moves and speculation to develop,… Read More Five Royals MiLB Hitters To Pay Attention To This Offseason
The season is over for the Triple-A Omaha Storm Chasers, and it was a tough season, to say the least. After winning an International League title in 2024 with an 89-59 record, the Storm Chasers went 62-86, tied for last in the IL West Division with the St. Paul Saints (the Twins’ affiliate). Granted, Triple-A… Read More Five Omaha Pitchers Worth Paying Attention to This Offseason

The Royals had an off day on Thursday, and per usual on these days, I try to catch up on the Royals’ Minor League affiliates. I primarily watched the Columbia Fireflies contest against the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, especially with impressive pitching prospect David Shields on the mound. In this post, I will focus primarily on… Read More Four Position Prospects That Royals Fans Should Pay Attention To Right Now
It’s been tough to be optimistic with this Royals team right now. The Boys in Blue went 8-18 in June, and their season record now stands at 39-46, putting their postseason odds at 8.1%, according to Fangraphs. I want to be more hopeful about the team, but that’s hard to do until some moves are… Read More Three Royals Pitching Prospects to Keep An Eye On in Second Half
On Sunday night, the Royals made national headlines with ESPN’s Jeff Passan reporting that Kansas City would be calling up their No. 1 prospect, Jac Caglianone, to the Major Leagues.

The Royals begin a six-game road trip this week, kicking off with a three-game series against the Giants in San Francisco. As someone who grew up in Northern California (Sacramento) and with most of my family (including parents) being Giants fans, I always get up for this series.
