Daniel Lynch tosses two scoreless frames Friday
by Bruno Mulé | Royals Correspondent | Fri, Feb 21st 5:28pm EST
Daniel Lynch IV looked sharp in his Cactus League debut, striking out two over two scoreless innings against the Rangers. The 28-year-old southpaw allowed just two hits—both coming with two outs in the second—but remained in control, throwing 21 of his 28 pitches for strikes while generating three whiffs. Lynch is competing for the final spot in the Royals’ rotation, with Noah Cameron, who also tossed two scoreless frames Friday, among his challengers.
Fantasy Impact:
Lynch will need a strong spring to secure a rotation spot, but his command and efficiency in this outing were encouraging signs. He remains a long shot for fantasy relevance in standard leagues, but deeper formats should monitor his progress as he competes for a starting role.
