• Once they get to Kansas City, Royals hitters do not walkPhoto by Keith Gillett/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images It is unbelievable that no matter what almost all Kansas City Royals have a lower walk rate at the pro level. Nick Loftin made it to the pro level this year by getting on base. He was leading all of the majors and minors for a while and sported a 21.2% walk rate in Omaha this year. The offense at the pro level has struggled mightily,...2025Visit the page Kansas City Royals breaking news today

• Royals dearth of power shouldn’t be surprisingHome run? Nope. | Gary Rohman-Imagn Images Exactly who was supposed to power this team? Remind me - who was supposed to hit all of these home runs again? In 2024, the Royals homered 170 times, which was (a) 12 fewer than the Major League average and (b) tied for 21st most in the league. Then the Royals brought back just about the entirety of last year’s starting lineup, adding only Jonatha...2025Click for news about Jonathan India latest news

• 2024 Season in Review: Seth Lugo has the deepest arsenal in baseballPhoto by Ed Zurga/Getty Images He was darn good. The 2023 Royals starting pitching staff had a 5.12 ERA, fourth-worst in baseball. It was a revolving door of starters - 29 different pitchers made a start, although to be fair many were “openers.” Only three starters tossed at least 100 innings, and only one starter with 10+ starts posted an ERA below four - mid-season pickup Cole Ragans.
