The Royals start another season with a collection of prospects in AAA ready to make an impact for the ball club. This is in addition to Opening Day roster players
Jeremy Rogerson and
Dave Holcombe, showing the effectiveness of the farm. 2029 1st Round pick RF
Billy Mumaugh headlines the list, but 2028 1st Round pick SS
Tim Storer, 2029 2nd Round pick RP
J.J. Paniagua and offseason trade acquisition 2B
Dan Colligan are all on his heels.
2028 1st Round Supplementary pick
Danny Petty will look for a fast start at AA and, should he achieve that, could end up being the first one called up. He will form a formidable 1-2 in the rotation with 2027 3rd Round pick
Mike Hoffer while in the field trade acquisition CF
Luis Gotay will hope to make an immediate impression.
Several 2030 rookie prospects will be hoping to make an early impression in A ball, with 2027 International Amateur
Juan Zubia at the top of that list.
KC Top 500 Prospects
MLB Top 20 Prospects
There are no Royals amongst the Top 20 prospects in baseball. Unlike 2030 this is a bottom heavy list with only one player starting the season in the MLB (Mets’ CF
Dan Simmers) and another two above High-A.
Despite the lack of Top 20 prospects, the Royals farm is still comfortably ranked inside the top ten (8th) in a list that is headlined by the newly relocated San Antonio Avalanche (Oakland A’s) with three Top 20 prospects.
