Baseball is back! And the Royals are still undefeated in 2022! And today they will play another game!
Manager Mike Matheny will send out the exact same lineup he used on Thursday except today’s starting pitcher will be Brad Keller. Keller is an interesting case. Four years ago he was a Rule 5 draft pick and made the team simply because the Royals didn’t have any other particularly good options for the bullpen and he had a decent spring.
Keller didn’t and doesn’t have elite velocity. He primarily uses two pitches - a fastball and slider. He doesn’t strike guys out.
