Heading into the 2019 regular season, the Kansas City Royals are built to go against the grain, which is not always the easiest thing to do. If it is going to work everyone has to buy into the system, and that starts at Spring Training.
Playing the speed and defense game is not a new philosophy for the Royals. They have been doing it for years, especially during their 2015 World Series run. That is why nobody was shocked when Kansas City jumped at the chance to sign Billy Hamilton.
In a recent video the outfielders, and manager Ned Yost talk about what this team is defensively.
