Baseball America has the Royals taking a high school pitcher in its latest mock draft.
28. Royals — Briggs McKenzie, LHP, Corinth Holders HS, Wendell, N.C.
McKenzie has impressed throughout the spring with a fastball in the low 90s, a plus curveball with huge spin rates and big depth and an improved changeup with solid command. Some North Carolina scouts liken him to 2019 first-rounder Blake Walston, who the D-backs took with the 26th overall pick.
