As spring training approaches, the KC Royals will be getting a clearer picture of who belongs on the Opening Day roster. They’ll also possibly catch glimpses of players who could join the team at some point in the regular season. Nick Heath appears to be the latter — and he’s popping up on more and more radars by the day.
Per a story by MLB.com’s Jeffrey Flanagan, the young outfielder is someone to “keep an eye on.” The skinny on Heath is that he’s a player with blazing speed that plays well both on the basepaths and on defense.
