Where does Nick Pratto fit into the Royals’ plans?
Nick Pratto #32 of the Kansas City Royals celebrates his walk-off home run in the ninth inning against the Boston Red Sox at Kauffman Stadium on August 06, 2022 in Kansas City, Missouri. Royals won 5-4.A lot went wrong for the 2022 Kansas City Royals, but their rookie position player performances weren’t one of them. Bobby Witt Jr.’s inability to work walks hurt his overall value, but he hit the ground running as an above average player out of the gate. Vinnie Pasquantino became a legitimate offensive threat immediately. MJ Melendez showed the advanced plate discipline of a crafty veteran. Even Drew Waters, Michael Massey, and Nate Eaton came out of nowhere to hold their own.
