The Kansas City Royals have three drafted players who are currently in Omaha with their respective teams in attempt to win the College World Series.

The stage is set for the College World Series and the eight teams ready to go for the gold are Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi State, North Carolina, Oregon State, Texas, Texas Tech, and Washington. Between these eight squads, the Kansas City Royals have three players who fans can keep an eye out for over these next few weeks, depending on how far their team makes it.

Let’s take a look at the three players that Royals fans should follow along with in the College World Series, beginning with their first selection in the 2018 MLB Draft.

DRAFTED KC ROYALS IN THE COLLEGE WORLD SERIES – BRADY SINGER

By now, most Royals fans know all too well who Brady Singer is. He was the Royals’ first pick in the draft, selected at number 18, and it was a bit surprising that the Florida Gators pitcher fell that far.

Royals fans got to see Singer pitch last Saturday in the Super Regionals and he was on fire, surrendering just two runs off of four hits in 6.2 innings of work. He walked two batters, but struck out nine and only gave up four hits.

Singer ran into trouble early in the game, but for the final 2.2 innings of his performance, he was locked in. He tossed 118 pitches in his Game 1 start for the Gators.

Florida did indeed advance to their fourth consecutive College World Series and are hoping to lock down their second straight title. Singer will play a big part in that, likely getting the Game 1 start against Texas Tech for the Gators, which will take place Sunday at 6:00.

If Florida wins, they’ll face the winner of the Arkansas/Texas game. If they lose, they’ll face the loser of that match-up.
