Royals' Carson Roccaforte: Drafted with 66th pick

The Royals have selected Roccaforte with the 66th overall pick of the 2023 First-Year Player Draft.

A lefty-hitting outfielder from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Roccaforte has been making much more contact of late after toning down his swing in the Cape Cod League. He is a plus runner and has been compared to Andrew Benintendi due to his compact swing that is geared for contact.
