Once they get to Kansas City, Royals hitters do not walk

It is unbelievable that no matter what almost all Kansas City Royals have a lower walk rate at the pro level.

Nick Loftin made it to the pro level this year by getting on base. He was leading all of the majors and minors for a while and sported a 21.2% walk rate in Omaha this year. The offense at the pro level has struggled mightily, so they brought him up, and to be fair, he has been reasonably productive, but the walks disappeared.
