Left-handed pitching prospect Asa Lacy and other pitchers who are expected to head to Minor League camp will be eased into innings this spring because of the gap between Major League camp and the beginning of the Minor League season, which starts April 6 for Triple-A and May 4 for Double-A and below.
Lacy, the No. 4 overall Draft pick in 2020, experienced a truncated final college season at Texas A&M and has yet to have his first season in the professional ranks due to the canceled Minor League season last year. He joined the Royals’ alternate training site and instructional league in Kansas City once he was in the organization.
