While young fireballers like Paul Skenes and Jacob Misiorowski are taking Major League Baseball by storm, it's starting to look like the Kansas City Royals have one of their own, very young, big-armed hurlers working his way through the minor leagues. Kendry Chourio continues to mow opponents down and impress despite his very young age.
Chourio, who won't celebrate his 18th birthday until October, saw his season start with the Royals DSL league and, after a rough beginning, has found his groove over the last few months.
At the beginning of July, the young pheom was moved to the club's Rookie League team and then quickly promoted to Low-A ball.
