Kansas City Royals: What each member of 2020 draft class can provide

Kale Emshoff, Catcher (22-years-old)

Kale Emshoff, is a 6’2”, 230 pound catcher from the University of Arkansas Little Rock. Emshoff has shown the potential for above-average tools in his hitting, power, defense, and arm.

• Best Outcome: Emshoff has the capability to be an everyday player, producing a .260 batting average, with 15-18 homers per year with solid defense behind the plate. WAR = 1.6 – 2.4 range.
• Likely Outcome: He presents a big target behind the dish with some pop at the plate as a back-up catcher. WAR = 0.0 – 0.7 range.

Tucker Bradley, Outfielder (22-years-old)

Tucker Bradley, is a 6’0”, 203 pound outfielder from the University of Georgia.

Bradley has been a consistently good hitter at Georgia, hitting .317/.384/.412 with 26 stolen bases in 30 attempts during his 125 game, four-year career with Georgia. All five of his scouted tools are borderline MLB average with his contact, baserunning, and fielding grading above-average.

• Best Outcome: I have Bradley hitting .260, with 15-18 bombs (lots of gap power), and 15+ stolen bases per year. He would be a plus defender in either corner outfield spot. WAR = 1.6 – 2.4 range.
• Likely Outcome: He has the tools to be a serviceable fourth outfielder with decent speed, range, and contact ability in a platoon role. WAR = 0.0 – 0.7 range.
