Casey Coleman

The Royals gave Coleman a fresh start when they signed him to a minor league deal in April of 2014, and the right-hander provided the organization a strong presence in the bullpen at Triple-A Omaha in 2014. He uses a slider and fastball that approaches the mid-90s (on a good day) to get hitters out, but has yet to show consistent production at the major league level. Coleman's 2.15 ERA in the minors last season may seem impressive at first glance, but a 4.10 FIP and 81.5% strand rate suggest that number may not have been truly reflective of his performance. Nonetheless, his solid relief work earned him a September callup last season, and he proceeded to post a 6.48 ERA over six appearances on the month. Outrighted from the 40-man roster, he'll face an uphill battle to return to the big leagues in Kansas City.
