Let’s start with the fact that the Royals having so many pitchers from one draft that have a legitimate chance of making an impact in the MLB is insane. With the Royals’ first four picks in the 2018 draft, they took college pitchers Brady Singer and Jackson Kowar from Florida, Daniel Lynch from Virginia, and Kris Bubic out of Stanford.
Singer (No.59) and Lynch (No.61) have cracked MLB’s Top-100 Prospects already, and Kowar is not far behind. Within the Royals Farm System, all four pitchers are on the team’s Top-6 prospects list.
