The Royals farm system is making slow progress, but according to organizational rankings from evaluators this month, it still ranks near the bottom of baseball.
Baseball America, ESPN, and The Athletic all released farm system rankings, with the Royals finishing among the bottom ten teams in each ranking. Baseball America ranks the Royals #27, with only the Braves, Astros, and Angels ranked lower. The publication comments that the “farm system remains thin on potential regulars, especially when it comes to hitters.” The publication had two Royals in their top 100 prospect list, first baseman Jac Caglianone at #63 and catcher Blake Mitchell at #75.
