• The best Royals seasons by age

Get that young man a Hamm’s Baseball is hard. Hitting a 95 MPH pitch is tough business. Throwing one might be even harder than hitting one. When looking at the Royals best seasons by age, I was a little surprised how bereft they were at the young ages. The Royals have had very few players, let alone stars, at young ages.

2023
"Back in 2004, Carlos Beltran was traded 69 games into the season."

2022
"Carlos Beltran admits he and the 2017 Houston Astros “crossed the line” with their sign-stealing scheme during their championship season."

2021
"Carlos Beltran deserves second chance, but mea culpa must come first"

2020
"Carlos Beltran, before beginning his first season on the job with the New York Mets, becomes the third MLB manager to lose his job as a result of the Astros' sign-stealing scandal, joining A."

2019
"That long stint in San Francisco included a brief period working with Mets manager Carlos Beltran, who played for the Giants over the last two months of the 2011 season."

2018
"Carlos Beltran Says He Will Not Visit White House With Astros"

2017
"Less than a month after hoisting the World Series trophy with the Astros, Carlos Beltran is joining the crowded field of Yankees managerial candidates."

2014
"Really the only time he went for anything even remotely resembling a blockbuster deal was in the summer of 2011, when he traded then-top prospect Zack Wheeler to the New York Mets for Carlos Beltran, a risky venture that ultimately failed."
