1 Problem Kansas City Royals Need to Immediately Fix
The Royals have a problem they need to fix soon.
The Kansas City Royals are one of the young and exciting teams in MLB right now. With that being said, they are far from perfect. Of course, no team is completely perfect (even the Dodgers).
If the Royals want to take the next step in 2026, though, there is one specific fix they need to make as soon as possible. The fix may seem simple, but it is much easier said than done. The Royals need to get on base at a much more consistent rate.
Royals Have an OBP Problem We will take a look at the Royals' performance in 2026, but this specific problem goes well beyond this year. Through three games played this season, Kansas City is 26th in on-base percentage (OBP) with a mark of . 255.
However, that is only a three-game span as mentioned. In 2025, Kansas City finished 22nd in the statistic with a . 309 mark.
