I really hope in just a couple of seasons we are saying the same thing about the Kansas City Royals hitting prospects but every time I turn around, there is another pitching prospect that is making a name for themselves. Signed as an international free agent in July 2018, Rito Lugo was on the fast track to see immediate playing time this season.
The 23-year old Venezuela native was originally assigned to the Dominican Summer League after being signed and posted a 1.15 ERA in 2 starts (4 appearances) while striking out a ridiculous 27 batters in 15.
