Analysis & Opinion

The Face of the Franchise continues to put together some of the best shortstop seasons in recent memory, and 2026 will add another tally to that list. He is also doing it without one key tool in his belt being a prevalent.

Analysis & Opinion

Jac Caglianone has been one of the better Royals bats this season, but he needs to round out his game just a bit more to reach the next level.

Analysis & Opinion

While the Royals have mostly gotten out of their early season offensive slumber, one slugger in the lineup is still struggling, Salvador Perez. The longtime face and icon of the franchise is off to one of his slowest starts to a season ever.
