A lot of things are going wrong for the 2023 Kansas City Royals. This is perhaps obvious, considering they are still on pace for more than 100 losses and are tracking behind last year’s team. Their pitching, in particular, is abysmal, and the lack of depth is noticeable.
But not everything is going wrong for the Royals—there have been some developments that are going well. The Royals’ infield is one. Perhaps the simplest way to show this is in the Wins Above Replacement put up by current infielders (that’s third base, shortstop, and second base) and, well, everybody else.
