The 2017 Royals draft, one year later

The 2017 Major League Baseball Amateur Draft was held on June 12, 2017. Now that the Kansas City Royals are rebuilding, their drafts will be carefully examined and scrutinized more than ever.

Pratto will always be compared with Eric Hosmer for the rest of his Royals career.
