Over the past few seasons, the Kansas City Royals bullpen has been one of their greatest strengths. This season has not been an exception, as the Royals bullpen has posted a 2.33 ERA, the second best mark in baseball. Opponents have mustered a mere .208 batting average against the Royals relievers; again, the second lowest mark in baseball. The Royals dominant bullpen is simply something that we may have started to take for granted at this point.
Even with the overall dominance of the Royals bullpen, there is a potential flaw. As the relief corp is currently constituted, the Royals have only one lefty in the bullpen, Franklin Morales.
