Kansas City Royals: Tyler Zuber could be future Royals closer

A scan of the 2019 MLB Prospect Watch list for the Kansas City Royals has many players that are already well-known names for Kansas City fans. One pitcher left off the list but who is locking down saves the last two years in the minors at three different levels should be on everyone’s radar. His name is Tyler Zuber.

In 2017, his senior year at Arkansas State was a big turning point in his career as he recorded 80 strikeouts in just 52.1 innings over 25 games. He also recorded 6 saves that year and only allowed 29 hits.
