With less than a month until the first spring training game, the clock is ticking for the Kansas City Royals to finalize their roster down in Surprise, Arizona. The current roster includes 63 players heading to big-league camp, with many of them well-known to fans. Bobby Witt Jr., Cole Ragans, and Salvador Perez are among the established names whose contributions are well understood.
But it’s the less familiar players that make spring training exciting—a chance to catch prospects like Jac Caglianone and Blake Mitchell in action, or to see how new 40-man additions such as Noah Cameron and Luinder Avila perform.
