With the offseason in full swing and the Royals looking at ways to build off of a strong 2024, it is a great time to pull together the Kansas City Royals’ top 25 prospect list. Last year, many considered the Royals’ farm system to be one of the weakest in all of baseball due to both graduations and difficulties in drafting and developing players.
Some positive steps forward have the Royals moving in the right direction this year. Specifically, 2022 first-rounder Gavin Cross has made positive strides and the Royals found success with a strong 2024 draft where they brought in the likes of Jac Caglianone, Drew Beam, and David Shields.
