In the 2015 draft, the KC Royals had two first-round picks. They used both of those picks on high school pitchers from Indianapolis and…well, it did not go well.
Ashe Russell never made it beyond rookie league ball. His numbers were not great, also not terrible. But they were certainly not the numbers you would hope for from a first-round draft pick. His entire minor league career consists of just over 38 innings of rookie ball and he is now out of baseball.
Nolan Watson was the other first-round pick for the KC Royals in 2015.
