PROSPECT: Ben Kudrna, SP, Kansas City Royals
ANALYSIS: A trendy pick for a breakout prospect this year, Kudrna was drafted in the second round of the 2021 draft by the Royals out of high school. After flashing impressive raw stuff in 2022 that didn’t quite show up in the results, many figured on him to take a big step forward this season.
That’s not exactly happened over his first two appearances on the season, but owners should be wary of jumping ship. Kudrna’s currently sporting an 11.57 ERA over seven innings, but in that time, he’s allowed a .476 BABIP and home runs are leaving the park at a pretty impressive rate.
He has improved his strikeout and walk rate both this season and currently owns one of the largest disparities in the minors between ERA and FIP (current FIP of 4.41).
VERDICT: No reason to drop if he’s owned in a deep dynasty, but also a good reason to hold off on a speculative add as well. Watch and see.
