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
After talking about Sam Long in my debut post of the Royals Pitcher Profile series, I decided to focus on another arbitration-eligible pitcher who is a bit more high-profile. That is none other than Kris Bubic, who will be entering his last year of team control in 2026. Last season was an interesting year for… Read More Royals Pitcher Profile: Kris Bubic, LHP
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
On December 26th, I shared and analyzed the TJ Stats Triple-A Statcast cards of eight Royals hitters who primarily played in Triple-A in 2024.

At 39 years old, it seems likely that Zack Greinke will make 2023 his final season in Kansas City and professional baseball as well.

As of Wednesday, Greinke… Read More Appreciating the Final Days of Zack Greinke With the Royals (Despite The Rough Season)
After covering Gavin Cross in my last edition of the “Reporter Prospect Corner“, I move onto the pitching end of the Royals farm system, as I look at right-hander Jonathan Bowlan, who was part of a slew of promotions today, according to the Royals Player Development Twitter. The four other arms promoted today are also… Read More “Reporter Prospect Corner”: Jonathan Bowlan, RHP, Omaha (Triple-A)
I have gotten behind on these posts with the start of Spring Training, as I haven’t written a “Top 50” Tier post since early February. Thus, I am going to abbreviate these posts a little bit in order to ensure that they get done before the start of the Minor League season in April. Here’s… Read More Examining the Tier Five Prospects (Royals 2023 “Top 50 Prospects to Watch” Rankings)
This post can now be found in the Royals “Hall of Not Forgotten” page. As of now, it seems very unlikely baseball will start until July at the earliest (don’t know what this means for my tickets, but hey, we will see). That seemed further confirmed at Kauffman Stadium and in Kansas City after this… Read More Royals “Hall of Not Forgotten”: Edinson Volquez, RHP
