The Royals future is far brighter this season than it even was last season. The domination of Bobby Witt Jr, the resurgences of Nick Pratto and MJ Melendez, as well as a system chalked full of arms led to Kansas City’s farm system being ranked among many publication’s top-10 farm systems.

Those four pitchers have ERAs of 4.
