So it is his year, Luke Hochevar is set to be the ace of the Royals pitching staff and likely start on opening day. Hochevar has had a career filled with potential with scattered results. At times he looks brilliant and at times not. Either way this is a make or break year for him. With all the left handed pitching coming up through the Royals system right now I like to envision a rotation with three to four lefties and Hochevar.
He is still a young pitcher. He is getting to the typical age when pitchers figure “it” out. It is another building year for the Royals. They won’t be very good but this could easily be the year that Luke Hochevar and Alex Gordon show whether they will be on the team with all of this young talent or whether they are just more high draft picks that never panned out.
