Facing uphill battle
Pratto is not projected to make the Royals' roster, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Pratto is blocked at first base by Vinnie Pasquantino and doesn't have enough experience in the outfield yet to be a realistic option there, especially with the competition for the extra outfielders expected to be strong. Nelson Velazquez is also expected to be the primary designated hitter, and Nick Loftin, who is also not included in Rogers' projection, offers more infield versatility. It's an uphill battle ahead for Pratto, who slashed a meager .232/.307/.353 with seven home runs and 35 RBI last year.

2019
2018
As expected, Pratto had trouble hitting consistently against major-league arms, batting .184 with a .657 OPS across 182 plate appearances with the Royals. He was in a unique situation, sharing first base and designated hitter with fellow prospect Vinnie Pasquantino. While that's an acceptable short-term arrangement that could exist for part or all of 2023, the Royals' position-player prospects could eventually create a logjam in the majors that necessitates a deal. Pratto added seven homers in his first taste of the majors last year, but a 36.3 percent strikeout rate and a 10.7 percent walk rate were not the right mix for a three-true-outcomes hitter. He also didn't attempt a steal in the majors last year -- he didn't get on base enough to make an impact there. There's room for the 24-year-old to grow if he can break camp with the Royals, but there are enough red flags in his profile to make him risky even in AL-only formats, though his plus power could quickly nullify those concerns.
