Royals Agree With First-Rounder Asa Lacy
4 years agoThe Kansas City Royals agreed with their first-round pick (fourth overall), left-handed pitcher Asa Lacy, on Tuesday. Lacy had a career 2.07 ERA with a 13.3 K/9 and 4.0 BB/9 in 152 total innings (21 starts, 21 relief outings) at Texas A&M. His bonus figure wasn't announced by the Royals, but the No. 4 slot comes with a $6.664 million value. Lacy creates a downhill plane with his 6-foot-4 frame and boosted his fastball to 92-97 mph. The 21-year-old also has a downward curveball, a hard slider and a sinking changeup. Lacy will need to consistently be able to harness his stuff and command it, but he has the stuff to make a quick rise through KC's farm system.
