The greatest third basemen in Royals history

Third base. Now it’s getting easier. The Royals have had several really good third basemen. Only pitcher and outfield would boost most firepower for the Royals than third base.

The other thing about the third base position is that most of these players were drafted and developed by the Royals. I find it interesting that Kansas City scouts and coaches can identify, draft and develop good third baseman but could not do the same for second base to save their lives. After Frank White retired and before the Royals drafted and promoted Whit Merrifield, there were a lot of years in between where the Royals could not develop their own talent at second.
