While the 2014 season saw them make a comeback with a similar record, the odds are against another trip to the playoffs.

Beating Expectations – Corey Toups Rising in Royals System
The Royals selected two players in the 2014 draft from Sam Houston State, a school with a little more than 20,000 enrollment about an hour north of Houston.
