Scouting Report: Alex Lange
Kansas City Royals | RP
Overall
Summary
Alex Lange, 30-year-old right-handed reliever for the Kansas City Royals, has struggled significantly in 2026 after signing a one-year, $900,000 deal. He is 0-2 with a 5.79 ERA over 16 appearances, the worst among Royals pitchers with double-digit appearances. Lange missed time in 2025 due to lat surgery and pitched only one game for Detroit. While he showed improvement in May with a 3.60 ERA over four outings, he remains a weak link on the Royals' pitching staff compared to teammates with ERAs under 3.70. The team needs him to perform better for their playoff aspirations.
