The offseason is in full swing and the Kansas City Royals will officially have the 4th overall pick in the 2020 MLB Draft. This past year, they selected the nation’s top high school shortstop prospect in Bobby Witt Jr. Baseball America has done a fine job recently, giving various praises to the Royals prospects and they just released their early 2020 MLB Draft predictions.
In a surprising move, they have the Royals taking Nick Gonzales, a second baseman from New Mexico State. To provide some perspective, they have the Detroit Tigers taking Austin Martin (Vanderbilt) with the first overall pick, Spencer Torkelson (Arizona State) to the Orioles at number two, and Emerson Hancock (Georgia) to the Marlins before the Royals get to make their pick.
