Kansas City Results

Kansas City has another average month, a 14-14 record leaves the Royals clinging on to the division lead thanks to their fast start to the season.

While the AL Central is tight, the divisional results have gone the way of the Royals; a 2-1 series victory on the road over the White Sox, coupled with a split 4-game series in Minnesota leaving Kansas City at 14-8 for the season.

The Royals claimed three of four series against AL teams, home victories against the Avalanche and the Red Sox and an on the road 2-1 victory over the Rangers. The good work was somewhat undone getting swept in Los Angeles, the 36-46 Angels winning all three.

Kansas City lost both inter-league series, at home to the Padres and on the road to the Rockies, before splitting two games against the Braves to finish the month, series they will finish in July.

The Royals remain middle of the pack for hitting, with a less than stellar pitching performance and defence. For the first time, it is power (gap specific as the Royals are 4th in extra-base hits) rather than average (8th) that is keeping the Royals above water; similarly, the starting rotation (4th - 3.99 ERA) is out-pitching the bullpen (6th - 3.78).

Billy Mumaugh (157 wRC+) had a strong month, although his 4 HR ranking 3rd on the team is more a reflection of the team than his performance, which was based on his .400 OBP. On the basis that the Royals go as Bobby Witt Jr. (114 wRC+) goes, there was general happened from fans and front office as he had a good month with the bat and a positive (0.4) month of Zone Rating. He also won AL Player of the Week for the week of 7-13 June.

Luis Garcia (98 wRC+) has done a solid job stepping in for Marcos Paz (on rehab assignment in Omaha) and has likely ensured he will be retained to cover for J.J Paniagua as well. Cade Townsend (217 ERA+) went 3-1 over his 6 starts, striking 30% of the batters he faced although Mason Barnett’s (60 ERA+) challenging season continued with a second poor month, although a .341 BABIP suggests some unluckiness (or weak defence support).

Jonathan Fleri (149 ERA+) had a solid month on his call up, although the rest of the bullpen struggled. Wen-Hui Pan (27 ERA+), in particular, had a rough month with a 2.19 WHIP and a FIP over 6.00. Both he and Jim Porter struggled with long balls, as each gave up 5 HRs in 17 innings of work. The upcoming trade deadline puts some pressure on both to improve in July.

The midpoint of the season came in June with owner John Sherman reviewing Stewart’s performance against his set goals:

Team Record: Ok
Improve team stats: Poor
Extend your player: Achieved
Improve your fan interest: Failing
Improve your intl. amateur finds: Failing

The final news came on June 27th as Wyatt Langford came to Stewart asking about an extension. He is looking for 4 years with a total of $66m. That is a going to be too rich for the Royals, especially with Goodman and Mumaugh locked down long-term; an upgrade at 1st Base may in a Trade would be considered as the deadline approaches.
