Summary
The Royals’ 2021 draft gamble paid off in some spots but backfired big on their first pick. By signing high school pitcher Frank Mozzicato underslot, they freed up cash to land solid local talents like Carter Jensen — but Mozzicato’s control issues and lack of velocity have left fans wondering if the risk was worth it. While the draft had its gems, the lesson is clear: for a small-market team, missing on a top-ten pick can be costly.
