Looking ahead to 2020 debuts

The Royals have lost 207 games over the last two seasons, which is as many as they lost between May 18, 2013 and the end of the 2015 season including playoffs. So it’s been a rough go, which means rather than actual games or series, we look forward to big league debuts. We were treated to Kyle Zimmer, Nicky Lopez, Richard Lovelady, Josh Staumont and Bubba Starling in 2019 as anticipated debuts as well as less heralded debuts from Humberto Arteaga, Nick Dini, Chris Ellis, Kelvin Gutierrez, Ryan McBroom, Erick Mejia, Frank Schwindel and Gabe Speier.

So who is on the cusp to make their debuts in 2020 as the organization tries to turn the Luke Hochever memorial corner back to relevancy?
