It’s always exciting to have a legit ace pitch on your team. Cole Ragans is that guy for the Kansas City Royals, and he’s on the mound to start today. Ragans’ goal this year is to be more aggressive, throw more strikes, and not walk as many guys. His tuneup for the season starts today.
Behind Ragans is a collection of backups, save for MJ Melendez who is likely to start the season in the one of the corner outfield spots and Freddy Fermin who very well may start more at catcher than Salvador Perez this year if trends continue.
