The Book on Wil Myers
Prospect Info
Wil Myers
Born 12/10/1990
C, KC
Nobody noticed in all the hubbub about Aaron Crow, but KC's third round pick in 2009 was another steal: the high-potential catcher William (Will) Myers. 'Wumbly' is a hard-nosed grinder who some call a throwback to a dirtier era, a ballplayer's ballplayer who can perform well at almost any position. He's being treated as a catcher so far, and he certainly has the smarts for it, but it's possible he moves to a position of greater need for a future Royals manager. If the projectability of his 6-3, 190lb body is worth anything, we can predict that he won't steal many bases, but he will launch a few moonshots in the years to come.
