Lee leads Royals` 2018 Top 30 Prospects list
(MLB.com Kansas City Royals)

The Royals are one of just three organizations shut out on MLB Pipeline`s Top 100 Prospects list. They haven`t drafted as well since they started picking lower -- their top choice has averaged to the 30th overall selection in the last four years, compared to fifth overall in the previous nine -- though they are optimistic about their 2017 class headlined by first baseman Nick Pratto.
