The Royals need a pitcher to step up as the ace of this rotation in order to be competitive going forward. Could Daniel Lynch fill that role?
His 2021 showed a variety of highs and lows but gave us all hope for what is to come. Lynch had two stints in the big leagues this season and looked like several different pitchers in each of them. Following a slow start to his career, Lynch was sent down to Triple-A, made improvements, and returned to the show on fire. After several good starts in a row, he began to come back to reality and left many fans unsure of what to think of his season.
