According to MLB.com reporter Jeffrey Flanagan, former no. 1 pick Kyle Zimmer is healed enough to withstand his typical off-season routine. Kansas City Royals assistant general manager J.J. Piccolo told MLB.com:
“He’s back home in San Diego and getting ready for his normal offseason with training and conditioning,” Picollo told MLB.com. “So everything looks good on that end.”
Certainly, this is good news. Kyle Zimmer might have the best stuff in the system—even better than Josh Staumont. The problem with Kyle Zimmer is that he hasn’t logged 100 innings pitched since 2013.
