The Weekly Wrap-up

Some Early Thoughts from Royals Spring Training Data

Spring stats can't tell us anything? Most can't, but some can.

Spring Training games have begun! The Royals are 1-1 (doesn’t matter), and so far, we haven’t seen any significant injuries from the boys in blue.

That’s a good way to start the spring.

We had a chance to hear some of the Royals’ premier players in both of the first two games. We also had a chance to see some intriguing pitchers battling for rotation spot in Stephen Kolek and Ryan Bergert.

As we all know, stats in spring training are pretty meaningless … top line stats anyway. We may be able to pick up some meaning if we dig into some advanced stats, which don’t need such a huge sample size to have meaning. So, today’s weekly wrap up will (mostly) be a run down of stats from the first two Spring Training games that could signal something interesting heading into 2026.

Enjoy!
