Drew Beam is a guy who represents the Tennessee Volunteers baseball program in the best way. He was a year one contributor and would spend three quality seasons in Knoxville before moving on to the MLB Draft, which he would be drafted by the Kansas City Royals.
Could we see him in the rotation before long? The Kansas City Royals struggled to develop pitchers for years before they tabbed J.J. Picollo to lead the organization and hired new pitching coach Brian Sweeney.
The Kansas City Royals are not off to a very good start in 2025. After earning a surprise Wild Card berth in 2024, the team is 9-14 through its first 23 games of the year.
