When the KC Royals started the 2019 season, there seemed to be a lot of unknowns in the bullpen. Pitchers were consistently trying out new roles and pitching in different innings, trying to figure out where they fall best. This was just one of the many issues Royals relievers saw in 2019 though.
As the season progressed it looked as though many of the relievers just weren’t comfortable on the mound. Many were struggling to throw strikes, and even if they did, they’d still manage to walk a batter or two or allow hit after hit.
One pitcher that started the year off incredibly poor is Kevin McCarthy.
