Ben Kudrna Fantasy Stats

Kansas City Royals pitching prospect Ben Kudrna has been promoted to Triple-A Omaha after making 20 appearances (19 starts) at Double-A Nashville this season. The Royals' seventh-ranked prospect posted a 4.21 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, and a 15.7 percent K-BB% with the Sounds, but had pitched much better as of late. The former second-rounder recorded a 1.71 ERA, a 0.85 WHIP, and a 17.4 percent K-BB% over his last six starts (31 2/3 innings pitched). The 6-foot-3 righty doesn't have eye-popping strikeout numbers like so many starters these days, but he showed improved command this season. He'll look to carry that momentum to Triple-A, then hopefully on into an MLB debut next year, although he's not necessarily a stash candidate in dynasty leagues.

Kansas City Royals starting pitching prospect Ben Kudrna threw six no-hit innings en route to his first victory of the season at High-A. Kudrna allowed two base runners in the opening frame, one via a walk and the other via a hit-by-pitch, but then kept the bases empty for the remainder of his start. This was an excellent bounce back performance for the number three overall prospect in the Kansas City system, as he allowed two runs in just three innings in his first start. The 21-year-old is projected to make his major league debut sometime in 2025 and is worth kicking the tires on if available in your dynasty and keeper leagues.
