The Kansas City Royals made a remarkable turnaround in 2024, finishing with an 86-76 record and securing a postseason spot after a dismal 56-106 season the previous year. Key to their success was Bobby Witt Jr., who led the league with a .332 batting average while also excelling defensively.
The pitching staff also shone, with Cole Ragans and newcomers Seth Lugo and Michael Wacha contributing significantly. However, the bullpen struggled, and the offense was heavily reliant on a few star players.
Looking ahead, the Royals have several free agents to consider and need to bolster their roster to continue their upward trajectory.
