OHearn, wholl turn 27 in late July, had a big Spring Training before the league shutdown and was taking on Ryan McBroom for routine representatives in the beginning base. Theres an obvious squadron pairing between the 2 if the company pleases, but both are taking a look at the 2020 season as a hopeful proving grounds. OHearn posted a monstrous.262/.353/.597 slash (153 wRC+) in 170 plate looks in 2018 but saw his production decrease precipitously in 2019 (.195/.281/.369).
Royals right-hander Brad Keller and first baseman Ryan OHearn have actually checked positive for the coronavirus, per the group. Keller stated in a declaration that is handling small signs at the minute, while OHearn is asymptomatic. Theyll both require a set of unfavorable tests before theyre cleared to return to the team. In the meantime, theyll isolate as they await those negative tests. Keller and OHearn join Salvador Perez as recognized Royals players to have actually evaluated favorable in the early days of Summer Camp.
The hope is obviously that both will make swift recoveries and be all set when games start later this month, although theres no chance of understanding when either will be cleared. Keller, 25 later on this month, is a lock for the Royals rotation and functioned as their Opening Day starter a year ago. The previous Rule 5 pick tossed 165 1/3 frames of 4.19 ERA ball over the course of 28 starts for Kansas City this past season.
