Watch as Royals prospect is first to hit for cycle this season in minor leagues
When the Royals play host to the Cleveland Guardians on July 25, the team will be giving out free T-shirts to fans.
That day also will mark the 35th anniversary of the last time a Royals player hit for the cycle. George Brett did it on July 25, 1990, against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Here’s a trivia question: When is the last time a Royals prospect hit for the cycle?
That’s a trick question. It happened Wednesday.
Outfielder Drew Waters was the first minor-league player to get a single, double, triple and home run in a game this season when he accomplished the feat for the Triple-A Omaha Storm Chasers.
And Waters did it the hard way, hitting an inside-the-park home run and an infield single.
Waters went 4 for 5 with five RBIs and two runs scored as the Storm Chasers beat the Louisville Bats 12-6.
Here is video of Waters hitting for the cycle.
