Lots of Ks and not many homers. Little high on the BB rate

I like this move

It looks like he ditched the sinker in 2023 for a four seamer in 2024.

HIs average fastball was 96.6 last year. It's 94.2 this year.

And thus, cash considerations. 

He's young, why not.

Sure, I guess. Considering the Royals have a bad bullpen and they don't think he can help them might be telling, though.

The Royals also thought OHearn wouldn’t help them.

Epic beard, at least.

Let's not pretend that we all thought O'Hearn was going to be Steve Pearce part 2.

Exhibit A

No one is pretending that but there were things about OHearn that made it possible he could become useful…and the same can be said about this guy.

Very solid under the radar, wtf type move

Look at what you said one post up lol.

So what?  It means absolutely nothing.  Showing that was just dumb.

OHearn had been a zero in his career but he showed he could have hard contact and getting rid of shifts helped him.  No one knew the impact of getting rid of the shift would have on him but there was at least something to work with.

The point is that KC has proven to let go of talent recently for free, so saying they didn’t do anything with him means absolutely zero.

Baseball is riddled with cast off guys that became something…there are some on this team right now.

It’s a worthwhile attempt..probably turns out to be nothing but he’s a good guy to take on.
