Kansas City Royals: Twelfth rounder Rylan Kaufman signs

Rylan Kaufman stands at 6’4″. The lefty pitcher was drafted by the Kansas City Royals in the twelfth round of the 2018 MLB Draft.

Kauffman, a left-hander, is just 18 and his fastball sits around 92-93 with a solid changeup. Likely to add much more velo as he fills out. High ceiling. https://t.co/xOuU4eLu4W

In his freshman season at San Jacinto College-North in Texas, Kaufman had a record of 7-1. If the college name sounds familiar, it’s because the junior college has a famous attendee: Roger Clemens. As aforementioned, there were also six other players from the school who were drafted in 2018.
