This week, Ryan McBroom hit a 470-foot bomb for the Omaha Storm Chasers, his 30th home run of the year. He became the third Royals minor leaguer to reach the 30-home run mark this season, joining MJ Melendez (37) and Bobby Witt, Jr. (31), and Nick Pratto will join that list as well with his next home run.
Before this season there had only been 19 Royals minor leaguers in the history of the franchise to hit 30 home runs in a season. Here are the top home run seasons in Royals minor league history.

Pellow is kind of a real-life Crash Davis.
