ANALYSIS
Evans spent the entirety of his career in the minor leagues after being selected in the fourth round of the 2013 draft by the Royals. The 25-year-old made it up to the Triple-A level last season, but only spent four games with Omaha before heading back to Double-A. In his career, Evans posted a slash line of .251/.292/.380 with 29 home runs and 167 RBI in 341 games. During the 2017 season, Evans tried to make the conversion from catcher to pitcher with the Rookie-league AZL Royals, but never progressed far enough to take the mound during a game.
