The Royals need star talent/potential, regardless of position.
There are a few pitchers that may get to that spot that I really like - Ethan Hankins from HS in Georgia, Kumar Rocker, also a GA HS kid, and Logan Gilbert from Stetson (strong deGrom vibe).
OF Jordyn Adams will likely be there and is a classic Royals crush ... multi sport HS athlete with enormous physical ability (Byron Buxton-type tools) but I would stay away from him (biggest bust/upside pick at that spot).

His ISO (SLG-AVG) is ridiculous. Average is not impressive and still needs work on recognizing and spitting on spin, but his raw power is sick.
And he’s probably the second-best prospect on that team, since 2017 second-round pick MC Melendez is showing nearly the same power but with plus C defense.

“Sneak in?” They were one of the hottest teams in baseball in the second half and secured the top WC spot. Do you consider all WC teams as sneaking in?
I think he would have survived had they missed but still had a winning season.
