The Royals have had worse starts to seasons.
After struggling to field a Major League rotation in recent years, Kansas City responded by bringing in Seth Lugo and Michael Wacha to join Cole Ragans and Brady Singer. Thus far, only four teams have more fWAR from their starters than the Royals while Houston is the only team in baseball with a better ERA from their starters.
Their position players have been average compared to their peers, but Bobby Witt Jr ranks 2nd in fWAR and is smashing every single baseball he can find.
