We all know the story of Scott Kingery. A once promising prospect whose ascent was stifled by contract COVID-19 and then (allegedly) messes with his swing by the ‘then’ coaching staff. I won’t spoil who that coach was. What didn’t help, and what fans will still make jokes about, was his long-term contract signed before he even played in the big leagues.
Not a surprise!
