Shields is the type of prospect the Royals have taken a lot but rarely been able to do much with. He’s a projectable HS arm. Hopefully the new folks in charge of minor league development can get more out of him.
He already has a usable sweeper and changeup, so it’s more a matter of helping him mature and add velocity. They have done that with some success.
It’s a popular pick, though.
Pretty good Day 1, even with having one fewer pick during it than projected.
I’ve also seen Law talk about the weakness of this draft/lack of depth. Probably has something to do with the royals willingness to part with the comp pick …
