The experts seem to agree, the Royals have one of the worst farm systems in baseball. That doesn’t mean we can’t unearth a few gems, however, and already we have seen a few Royals prospects get off to hot starts.
Who are the prospects to look for in the system? There is not a consensus top prospect as there has been in past years. Some evaluators prefer 2017 first-round pick first baseman Nick Pratto, others prefer the power of outfielder Seuly Matias, while others like the power-speed combo of outfielder Khalil Lee.
I wanted to combine all the top prospect rankings to come up with a composite ranking for Royals prospects.
