This was to be the season a new pitching age dawned in Kansas City. It seemed certain at least one of the three thoroughbred hurlers the KC Royals selected in the first round of the 2018 amateur draft would debut at Kauffman Stadium. Up until the moment baseball stopped last week, Brady Singer appeared close to an Opening Day roster spot and Jackson Kowar or Daniel Lynch seemed likely to make their way to the big club before the season ends.
But now, with no games to play or watch, fans can only wonder when Singer and his young colleagues will make it to the major leagues.
