Northwest Arkansas, the KC Royals’ Double-A farm club, resumes play tonight against San Antonio after Monday’s scheduled off day. Hopefully, the short time away from the game didn’t cool off three hot Kansas City prospects.
The trio—first baseman Nick Pratto, shortstop Bobby Witt Jr., and catcher MJ Melendez—were at the center of the home run barrage the Naturals put on last Friday night against Springfield. Pratto slugged three homers, Witt and Melendez had one apiece, and Brewer Hicklen added another to power Northwest Arkansas’ thorough 15-5 thrashing of the Cardinals.
