Ah. I see.

Last year in the game action I saw I was blown away by his defensive ability. Couldn’t hit for shit tho. Couldn’t make contact, very Owings like.

He made a major adjustment to the way he held his hands in April or May. His white hot June and July resulted.

His K rate is also down 5 percent over that time span, with his walk rate spiking 5 percent, too.

There’s definitely reason to be optimistic. He could be a Joc Peterson-type player for KC.

I don’t think they’ll pass Detroit but they might pass Baltimore.

Picking second behind Detroit might work out nicely. That’s one team that might not all in on Emerson Hancock since they already have a P-heavy system.

I could see Detroit jumping on Torkelson instead.

Emerson Hancock to KC, barring an injury or a major step back, would be really huge for the rebuild.

How the hell do you already know about 2020 MLB draft prospects? :clap:

That was crushed.

He's got a real shot at 40. There aren't too many Royals who've hit 30.

He's the 12th person to do it. Tartabull did it twice.

10 pitch AB and a HR for O'Hearn. Nice job for him.

Soler has been a nice return for Wade Davis.
