Nick Loftin, still just 24 years of age, made his big league debut just on the first day of September. Earlier in the year, Fangraphs named Loftin as the best Royals prospect after Maikel Garcia, specifically praising Loftin’s defensive versatility and contact skills. He hit the ground running, smacking a powerful double for his first big league hit and getting on base twice more.
