The Royals got screwed by the draft lottery, shoved down to the #6 pick despite finishing with the second-worst record. But picking sixth doesn’t mean you are subject to the sixth-best talent. Teams play slot games and sometimes talented players fall in the draft over bonus demands. Travis Bazzana is considered one of the top talents in this year’s draft - the BEST player, according to some - and the Royals need to be ready to pounce on him if he falls to them at #6.
Originally from Sydney, Australia, Bazzana played on the U18 Baseball World Cup for Team Australia against top world talent.
