Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 revision of our top 50 Kansas City Royals.
As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the American League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.
Please note that our algorithm has changed, which yielded minor changes throughout the baseball lists.
Last year, the Royals made a triumphant return to the playoffs, winning their Wild Card Series over Baltimore before falling to the New York Yankees in four games. The season yielded one new entrant and one elevation.
As always, we present our top five, which saw a huge change based on the new algorithm.
1. George Brett
2. Amos Otis
5. Kevin Appier
You can find the entire list here.
Under the new algorithm, Amos Otis moved from #5 to #2; a showcase to how tight everyone from 2 to 5 already were.
Multi-time All-Star Catcher Salvador Perez went up one spot to #6.
The new entrant is Bobby Witt Jr., who debuts at #31.
We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.
