David Lesky at Inside the Crown looks at the rotation depth.
I want to get into this just a little bit more because I’m sort of fascinated how the Royals will handle their starting pitching this year. Other than Jordan Lyles, they don’t have a pitcher who has thrown more than 160 innings since 2017 when Michael Wacha threw 165.2. Seth Lugo hit a career-high last year with 146.1. Brady Singer got to his career-high of 159.2 last season. Cole Ragans has never surpassed 100 in the big leagues. Those are the starting five out of the gates as of right now.
