A once promising member of the KC Royals is no longer a major league roster lock.
For Ryan O’Hearn, 2021 may turn out to be the season that might have been, but never was. Projecting how he’ll perform for the KC Royals is a question answerable only by considering whether he’ll even be with the big club when it breaks spring camp and heads north for Opening Day.
O’Hearn is now two seasons removed from a rookie campaign that made him the favorite to replace Eric Hosmer as Kansas City’s first baseman.
