The Kansas City Royals are making waves in the prospect world with two of their young talents, Jac Caglianone and Blake Mitchell, making it onto Baseball America's top 100 list for 2025. This is a significant leap from last year when the Royals had no players featured at all. With Caglianone ranked at #63 and Mitchell at #75, it raises some intriguing questions about the future of the franchise.

What do you think this means for the Royals' rebuilding efforts? Are we witnessing the dawn of a new era for Kansas City baseball? Caglianone, a former two-way player, is now focusing solely on hitting after a mixed performance in the minors. Can he develop into a reliable first baseman, or will he struggle to find his footing at the big league level?

On the other hand, Mitchell's impressive stats from Low-A Columbia show promise, but can he translate that success to the majors? With the Royals inviting both players to big league camp for spring training, what are your expectations for their performance this spring?

Moreover, with the Mariners leading the pack with seven prospects on the list, how do you feel about the Royals' farm system in comparison? Are we finally seeing the fruits of a well-planned rebuild, or is it too early to celebrate?

Let’s dive into the discussion! What are your bold predictions for Caglianone and Mitchell in the upcoming season? How do you see their roles evolving within the team? Share your thoughts and let’s get the conversation rolling!
