Royals: Prospect rewind with pitcher Daniel Lynch

It could be a few years from now we look back on the 2018 draft as when the Kansas City Royals addressed their pitching woes with “The Big Three”.

After a couple of mediocre years with the Cavaliers, Lynch really turned heads in the prestigious summer Cape Cod Baseball League in 2017. In six starts he went undefeated (4-0) and posted a minuscule 2.08 ERA. His WHIP was also an eye-pleasing 0.
