The Royals (good) catching prospect problem

Related Topics: Royals, Vinnie Pasquantino

For a couple of years, the Kansas City Royals farm system has been trying to rebuild itself from the graduations of many top prospects, including Bobby Witt, Jr., Michael Massey, Vinnie Pasquantino, and many others. Today, they are slowly getting back there with the addition of many top prospects like Jac Caglianone. Their real prospect strength lies at catcher. In our recent top 15 Royals prospect list, three out of the top five prospects are all catchers (Blake Mitchell, Ramon Ramirez, and Carter Jensen). This is definitely not a bad problem to have.

Such a strong catching core has led to many questions for the Royals front office and fans alike.
