The thing that I love most about baseball is that there really is never a true offseason. Obviously, you have Spring Training and the Major League schedule but then comes the Arizona Fall League, the Instructional League, and winter ball. And then the cycle starts back over again. The Instructional League is an avenue for the Kansas City Royals’ young prospects to continue developing their skills to prepare for the next season.
Often you’ll find some older prospects that need to develop a particular skill or learn a new position. The Royals are sending a laundry list of players to participate including 20 pitchers, 6 catchers, 11 infielders, and 8 outfielders.
