KC Royals: Stephen Woods Jr. is staking his claim in spring training

When the KC Royals took Stephen Woods Jr. from the Tampa Bay Rays in the Rule 5 draft, there were a lot of unknowns surrounding the young pitcher. Now, its time for him to prove that the team was correct in making him their only pick.

Now that spring training has taken off, the Royals are getting a decent look at the players who will make their way through Kauffman in 2020. For many of these players, they still have time, minor league options, and years to grow and develop into major league players. For some, their time may be running short.
