What can we reasonably expect from Asa Lacy based on his draft position?

With respect to the rest of the 2020 Kansas City Royals draft class, all of whom I wish the very best and hope they become stars in Kansas City, the success of the draft class rests primarily with the left arm of Asa Lacy. Drafted out of Texas A&M, Lacy was the fourth pick in the MLB Draft but valued by a majority of experts as the second- or third-best player in the draft.

Furthermore, having a top-five pick in the draft ought to be rare, and the results from that pick therefore of particular importance. A team doing its job should ideally not pick so highly except, oh, once a decade or so at the low point of a rebuild, because it means that the team was successful enough to not bottom out.
