Kansas City Royals: An early look at the 2020 MLB Draft

For the second consecutive season, the Kansas City Royals look like a lock to pick within the top five of the 2020 Major League Baseball Amateur Draft again. This past June, the team selected the highest-ranked high school shortstop in Bobby Witt Jr. with the second overall pick. It’s difficult to watch the big league club at times right now and, while not ideal, it increases their chances for a better pick next year.

Entering Monday, the Royals had the fourth-worst record in baseball, percentage points ahead of the Miami Marlins who have played two fewer games than the Royals.
