With the 2022 MLB Amateur Draft approaching on July 17, we will continue taking looks at some potential draft prospects for the Royals at #9. I last wrote about Jace Jung, a bat first infielder with unorthodox swing mechanics. Today, we’ll take a look at another bat first guy, but this one a switch-hitter with more conventional mechanics: Jacob Berry.
Berry hails from Queen Creek, Arizona, a suburb in the southeast area of Phoenix. He was active on the showcase circuit in high school and was selected to Perfect Game preseason All-American teams three consecutive years.
