Feel for 🇳🇮 but that was the most Dusty Baker bullpen management ever.
As if you needed more motivation to watch the #WorldBaseballClassic
In my latest article, I highlight a trio of the nastiest arms who have impressed me this Spring Training and what makes them stand out among their peers..
I cover Ryan Lambert (NYM), Carlos Lagrange (NYY), and Brandan Bidois (PIT)

#Royals make a few roster moves today. Not surprising since all three were long shots to make Opening Day roster anyways.

Bubba Chandler was electric as he struck out 5 over 3.0 IP in his start today
My #14 prospect ended the 2025 season on a high note and is poised to be a key contributor for the Pirates this season. Sitting 99 with that kind of ride on his fastball is bonkers. He’s so good!
On Thursday, when Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez met with the media, he spoke highly of the tournament. #royals #kansascity #fountainsup
It's time to take a moment and thank all the users who made North Side Baseball great over the offseason! #cubs #chicago #behereforit
Stacking days. Improving brick by brick.

Most of Kansas City's top prospects will be playing in the third annual event, with the Royals facing the Rangers on March 20th. #royals #kansascity #fountainsup
Roni’s got big pop. 🚀

It is disappointing to see that a baseless tweet from over a year ago disparaging my work is still causing creators in the baseball sphere to view me as an enemy.. I have made a conscious effort to highlight bright individuals and inspire others to pursue their dream of working in baseball 1/
The #Royals fringe prospect plateaued a bit in 2025 in Northwest Arkansas. However, he's been turning some heads this spring thanks to some eye-popping exit velo numbers #FountainsUp
The 26-year-old First Baseman Is Putting Up Intriguing Numbers in Royals Camp #royals #kansascity #fountainsup
Great stuff and perspective on the #Royals' newest addition. #FountainsUp
Beck Way only threw two pitches on Tuesday but he generated 60+ grades on both. His cutter had a 102 TJ Stuff+ and produced good numbers (.080 xwOBACON, 75% zone, 100% chase). Way has been an intriguing arm but hasn't put it together in upper levels. Maybe this year is different.
Lucas Erceg made his '26 #SpringTraining debut and did fine. 1 K, 0 H in 1 IP. Stuff was good with 100 TJ Stuff+ overall and two pitches with grades over 55 (four-seamer and changeup). Generated a lot of chase (66.7%) but not a lot of whiff (20%). Seeing the latter go up will be key for Erceg in '26
Felix Arronde made his #Royals #SpringTraining debut against his home country. Gave up a hit and walk in 1 IP. Flooded the strike zone with 57.9% zone rate and had a decent whiff (30%) and .198 xwOBACON. Stuff was okay with 97 TJ Stuff+ overall
Ryan Bergert was ridiculous today and continues to have a strong spring. 103 overall TJ Stuff+, 3 pitches with grades over 55, a 43.5% chase, a 41.2% whiff, and .078 xwOBACON. He also had four K in 2 IP. It's getting cliché now, but he's doing everything to show that he deserves an Opening Day Spot.
