One of these bright spots happened on Thursday night. After struggling in his first career AAA start, KC Royals prospect Josh Staumont threw one of the more impressive games in recent history that I’ve seen from a minor leaguer.
Arguably the KC Royals best pitching prospect, Josh Staumont is starting to get on a groove the past year or so.
Drafted out of Azusa Pacific University in California in the 2nd round of the 2015 draft, the Royals saw a lot of raw potential out of the hard throwing righty.
He made his pro ball debut shorty after being drafted, where he quickly found success in a relief role down in the Rookie League.
