The “Fab Four” of the KC Royals’ minor league system stems from the 2018 MLB Amateur Draft. Brady Singer, Jackson Kowar, Daniel Lynch and Kris Bubic have been terrific pitchers in the minors thus far. There’s legitimate hope that all four of them will one day play key roles in the success of the major league team. Austin Cox, the team’s fifth-round pick in the same draft, has been pretty good in his own right.
Cox has posted much better numbers in two minor league seasons than he did with Mercer University for three years.
