Blake Mitchell Breaking Out Of Slump
Kansas City Royals catching prospect Blake Mitchell has begun to heat up at the plate and is breaking out of his prolonged slump. Across his past three games, the top prospect in Kansas City has tallied at least one hit in all of them with a home run, five RBI, and a 5:4 BB:K ratio. In his previous 16 games before this stretch, Mitchell carried a disappointing .170/.308/.245 line with just one long ball and one double. Overall, through his first look at Single-A ball, the 20-year-old has posted a .249/.391/.443 slash line. The former eighth-overall pick in last year's draft remains several seasons away from his major league debut but is developing into one of the better backstops in the minor leagues.

Blake Mitchell Swinging A Hot Bat
Kansas City Royals catching prospect Blake Mitchell has started to find his footing at Single-A and has been swinging an awfully hot bat over the past two weeks. In his last 10 games, the former eighth overall pick in last year's draft has been riding a dominant .350/.447/.675 line with two long balls, five RBI, one stolen base, and a 7:15 BB:K ratio. Prior to this stretch, the Sinton HS product held a poor .174 AVG in his previous nine games. Mitchell currently sits with a solid .264/.402/.480 line through his first 68 games at Single-A and could push for a late-season promotion to High-A if he continues to this great hitting in the batter's box.

Blake Mitchell Hits Homer For Single-A Columbia
Kansas City Royals catcher prospect Blake Mitchell was 2-for-4 with a solo home run on Wednesday for Single-A Columbia. The 19-year-old has adapted nicely to Single-A this season with 10 homers and 30 RBI to go with 18 stolen bases. Kansas City's top overall prospect is a two-time Gatorade Player of the Year in Texas for Sinton High School. He has the tools to be a fantasy star at the catcher position but is a long way away from making an impact with the Royals. For now, he is a dynasty league target and a high-priority name to file away and monitor as he progresses through the Royals' farm system.

Blake Mitchell Tallies Three Hits And Two Home Runs In Massive Game
Kansas City Royals catching prospect Blake Mitchell went 3-for-5 at the plate with two home runs and three RBI on Thursday evening. Through his first 41 games at Single-A this season, the top prospect in Kansas City has posted a .260/.395/.493 slash line with eight long balls, 24 RBI, and 10 swiped bags. The former eighth overall pick in the 2023 MLB draft logged just 13 games in the Rookie League last season and struggled with a .147 average. Mitchell is ranked as the No. 71 overall prospect in baseball on MLB Pipeline and is projected to reach the majors in 2027. The 19-year-old should develop into one of the game's top prospects but should be left on your waiver wire in dynasty leagues for a few seasons.

Blake Mitchell Hitting Well In Single-A
Kansas City Royals catcher prospect Blake Mitchell has been off to a solid start for Single-A Columbia. Mitchell, 19, is hitting .273 with two homers and six RBI. Mitchell was drafted out of high school with the eighth overall pick in the 2023 draft and has become the Royals No. 1 prospect. As one of the better hitting prospects behind the dish and at such a young age, Mitchell has the potential to offer plenty of power. However, to make a big leap, Mitchell will have to learn to be less aggressive at the plate. If Mitchell can improve his plate discipline and continue to tap into his raw power, he can have a bright future as the Royals catcher after Salvador Perez hangs it up. For now, he is a name for dynasty managers to monitor as he is years away from a potential big-league debut.
