About Kris Bubic
Kris Bubic is a professional baseball pitcher who made his Major League Baseball debut with the Kansas City Royals in 2020. The left-handed hurler was drafted by the Royals in the first round (16th overall) of the 2017 MLB Draft out of Stanford University, where he developed into one of the college baseball's most promising young arms. After spending time in the minor leagues honing his craft, Bubic earned his call to the majors at just 23 years old, becoming part of the Royals' rotation during a rebuilding phase. His path to the majors showcased the organization's faith in his potential as a foundational piece for their pitching future.
Known for his ability to throw multiple pitches with solid movement, Bubic relies on a four-seam fastball, slider, and changeup to keep batters off balance. His left-handed delivery is particularly valuable in today's game, as teams prioritize having diverse arm angles in their rotations. While Bubic has experienced ups and downs in his early career, including struggles with consistency and durability, scouts respect his work ethic and competitive nature. He is best known for representing the next generation of Royals prospects who aim to return Kansas City to competitive contention, and he continues to work toward developing into a stable, reliable starter in a major league rotation.
