Sorry, this might be a bit long for a player season in review. I had to cut it down because I really still think Daniel Lynch has so much potential to be a big contributor to the Royals over the next half-decade or more. He showed sparks of brilliance at times during the 2022 season. Unfortunately, not all sparks catch, many sputter and fade into nothingness. For instance, in August Lynch had six starts with a sub-4 ERA and a 2.4 K/BB ratio. Or in June and July his strike-out rates were a bit better than the rest of the season and the secondary numbers like FIP and xFIP were starting to look quite good.
