5/22/25 | Royals Writer Praises Star Reliever After Breakout Start. The Kansas City Royals have cooled off a bit after overcoming an 8-14 start to the season, but they are still 28-23 and sit in sole possession of the second American League Wild Card spot. The pitching staff has been the ultimate strength of the team, and though the offense has let them down for the most part, the pitching staff has kept them afloat in the AL Central, arguably the toughest division in Major League Baseball. The team put Daniel Lynch IV in their bullpen to start the season, and it appears to be paying off. Caleb Moody of FanSided noted how the Royals now have a swiss army knife in their bullpen thanks to Lynch. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/royals/news/royals-writer-p... |

3/17/25 | Royals Urged To Pry Top Prospect From Orioles For Daniel Lynch IV Trade Package. The Kansas City Royals may have lucked into an extra starting pitcher this spring.

Lynch has a minor-league option remaining, so the Royals could send him to Triple-A if he's not going to earn a rotation spot. It's likely down to Lynch and Kris Bubic for the number-five starter role, and Bubic has played a bigger role for the Royals throughout his career when healthy.

1/17/24 | Smash or Pass: Daniel Lynch. Who is he and where does he come from? Daniel Lynch is a former first-round pick by the Kansas City Royals . He's a lefty with a Chris Sale-like frame, plus twenty or so pounds. Considered a top prospect throughout his time in the minors, he debuted in 2021 and has bounced back and forth between the majors and minors since then. Is he any good? Lynch has thrown 252 innings in the big leagues over three years and has a 5.81 ERA to show for it. If you want to close the tab and read something else, I wouldn't blame you at all. That being said, I'm a believer that you shouldn't judge a pitcher by their overall stats, but rather by their individual pitches.
