The Royals have been pounding the ball in spring training, scoring 47 runs in their last four games, including a 19-run outburst on Monday against Cleveland. As a team, they have hit .345/.401/.585 in the Cactus League with 8.2 runs per-game, by far and away the most in all of baseball.
If Royals hitters lighting up the scoreboard in spring training sounds familiar, that’s because they tend to this almost every year. Here are their spring training numbers the last few seasons, keeping in mind the 2020 spring training was cut short in mid-March due to the pandemic.
