The Royals’ Diverse Roster: A Blend of Experience and New Talent
In the heart of the Major League camp, the Kansas City Royals are gearing up for a promising 2024 season with a total of 66 players in their midst. The lineup boasts a rich composition of talent, including 40 players on the Major League Reserve List, 24 non-roster invites, and two players currently on the 60-day Injured List.
As the Royals prepare for the upcoming season, it’s evident that the team’s strength lies in its depth across all positions. Within the roster, there are 34 skilled pitchers, nine reliable catchers, 13 versatile infielders, and 10 dynamic outfielders, each bringing a unique set of skills and experiences to the table.
Noteworthy additions to the Royals’ roster in 2024 include pitchers Dan Altavilla and Tyler Duffey, both seasoned players with significant experience in Major League Baseball. Altavilla, with six years under his belt, and Duffey, with nine years of experience, are poised to make impactful contributions to the team’s pitching rotation this season.
Joining the Royals as non-roster players are infielder Mike Brosseau and infielder Cam Devanney. Brosseau, a seasoned player with five Major League seasons to his name, brings a wealth of experience to the team, having notably spent three years with the Rays from 2019-2021 under the guidance of former Bench Coach Matt Quatraro.
Infielder Cam Devanney, acquired by the Royals in a strategic trade with the Milwaukee Brewers in December, adds a new dimension to the team’s infield lineup. With his arrival, the Royals look to capitalize on Devanney’s talent and potential as they aim for a successful season ahead.
As the Royals’ roster continues to take shape, the blend of seasoned veterans and promising newcomers sets the stage for an exciting and competitive season. With a diverse array of talent and a shared commitment to success, the Royals are poised to make their mark in the 2024 Major League Baseball season.
