The Royals lost a LOT of games last year, but one benefit to all those losses will come in June when they will have the fourth overall pick in the draft. With the college baseball season beginning in just a few weeks, Royals fans should know some of the names being discussed at the top of the draft to keep an eye on this spring.
The 2020 draft class is expected to be stronger than last year’s class, with a deeper pitching pool and a particularly strong college class that “could wind up being the strongest college class in five years”, according to one scout.
