The Kansas City Royals sent a strong contingent of prospects to the desert for this year's Arizona Fall League action with the Surprise Saguaros.
The group, led by one of the organization’s top prospects in catcher Blake Mitchell, has experienced both highs and lows at the plate. Until recently, Mitchell still lacked the signature moment that his peers Jac Caglianone and Carter Jensen enjoyed during last year’s Fall League.
That moment finally arrived Thursday night with a thunderous home run.

Mitchell added Surprise’s second run of the first inning with a towering shot to right field, which left the bat at 116.
