(Photo by Ed Zurga/Getty Images)   The Kansas City Royals have been one of, if not the most surprising team in baseball so far this season and currently sit just 1.5 games out of first place in the AL Central with a 30-19 record. This is beyond just a hot start, as we are now roughly a third of the way through the season, and the Royals are on pace for 99 wins and are already finding themselves in elite company league-wide. MLB on FOX shared a post on Twitter that detailed the elite company the Royals have already found themselves in, as the Royals are now the fifth team to reach 30 wins ..read more

(Photo by Kyle Rivas/Getty Images)   Kansas City Royals catcher/first baseman Salvador Perez has had an amazing career. He won the World Series with the Royals in 2015, and was the MVP of that Fall Classic. He has gone to eight All-Star Games, won five Gold Gloves, and four Silver Slugger awards. Perez hit his seventh home run of the season on Thursday against the Toronto Blue Jays, and is on a really good pace. He now has 253 career long balls, and he is at a very good age still. The whole package of achievements and the fact he is still playing at a high level prompted a famous MLB insi ..read more

(Photo by Jamie Sabau/Getty Images)   In MLB, useful defensive stats based on range and catch probability are taking over the league and that’s excellent. They help paint an accurate picture about how good fielders are at making certain high-difficulty plays. However, there is also value in always making the routine play. That should be a given for all major leaguers, but you would be surprised at how many players can’t even make routine plays at certain positions. It’s hard to field capable defensive players on all spots of the diamond, but the Kansas City Royals have done it so far in 2 ..read more

(Photo by Ed Zurga/Getty Images)   Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. was instrumental in his team’s sweep of the Houston Astros. On Thursday, he hit two home runs and drove in five runs to propel the team to a 13-3 win. We don’t need to tell you Witt is one of the best young players in MLB after he hit 30 home runs and stole 49 bags last year, with a .813 OPS. We do need to remind you, however, that he might have jumped a tier and joined the elite, at least if we judge his 2024 performance so far. He is punishing the ball and leading an exciting category. “Most 110+ mph batted b ..read more

(Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images)   The world hasn’t seen another athlete like Bo Jackson. That’s an unquestioned fact: no one in the history of American professional sports other than Jackson has been an All-Star in at least two of the major leagues. The Kansas City Royals, the team with which he is most commonly associated when it comes to baseball, are inducting him to their Hall of Fame. It’s an entirely deserved recognition for someone who did what no one else had (or has) done. “Bo is headed to the Hall! Congratulations to Bo Jackson on his election to the Royals Hall of Fame!” t ..read more

(Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images)   It’s amazing how the outlook of a franchise can change in a span of just a couple of years. That’s why it is of vital importance to excel in every aspect of front office management: scouting talent, drafting, trading, spotting international prospects, signing the right free agents, and developing your own players. You can say that has happened to the Kansas City Royals. They drafted star shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. in 2019 and had him debut in 2022. They traded for pitcher Cole Ragans, whose career was stagnant in the Texas Rangers, and he turned into a ..read more
