Recently retired, Charles Polomsky was a decorated U.S. Air Force pilot and commander who enjoys a wide range of sports, from golf to basketball. Charles Polomsky also follows Kansas City sports teams, including the Royals of Major League Baseball.
With the Kansas City Royals’ performance having been hampered by unreliable pitching in 2019, a focus of the team during the offseason is on shoring up its pitching staff. One important piece of the puzzle promises to be Jesse Hahn, a right-hander who sat out two years following elbow surgery in 2017. Having successfully pitched six games of relief in September, Hahn will bring a potent fastball with consistent strike out potential to the lineup.
Another noteworthy pitching addition is Stephen Woods Jr., who was acquired from the farm system of the Tampa Bay Rays. Having scouted Woods out of high school, the Royals see long-term potential in a 24 year old who notched a 1.88 ERA and 9-3 record with the Florida State League’s Charlotte Stone Crabs last year.
