The KC Royals selected an outfielder with boom-or-bust potential in this year’s MLB Draft. Tyler Gentry could turn out to be a great value pick one day.

As the KC Royals gear up for what will finally bring us the return of baseball, their 2020 draft class is signing and officially joining the organization. Alabama outfielder Tyler Gentry is a member of that group, and he’s just as exciting a prospect as his counterparts.

Gentry, who went to high school in Tennessee, began his collegiate career at the JUCO level when he led Walters State Community College to the finals of the 2018 Junior College World Series.
