The Omaha Royals were my first introduction to @MiLB – I'm incredibly excited for this new opportunity with the @OMAStormChasers! Thrilled to make the jump to Triple-A, while staying in the @Royals organization at the same time.
#ChasersFamily, I cannot wait to get to know you!
Help us welcome Nicholas Badders as the new Voice of the Storm Chasers!

This year’s possible World Series champions:
• Milwaukee Brewers (never won)
• Tampa Bay Rays (never won)
• Cleveland Guardians (last won in *1948*)
No matter which team wins, its fans will get to celebrate a generational triumph. Pretty great.

It's not just a complete infield of Gold Glove finalists. It's a complete infield of *homegrown* Gold Glove finalists.
Vinnie Pasquantino - 11th Rd., '19
Michael Massey - 4th Rd., '19
Bobby Witt Jr., - 1st Rd., '19
Nick Loftin - 1st Rd. '20
Bravo to KC scouting & player dev!
An elite first line of defense. 🔥
Nick, Bobby, Michael, and Vinnie have been named 2026 @RawlingsSports Gold Glove finalists!

Great stuff here from Jaylon!
Get to know the name Carson Roccaforte:
🔘 30-30 season
🔘 Triple-A Debut (@OMAStormChasers)
🔘 Frank White DPOY (0 errors in 1,106 innings)
And now, he could be the next #Royals prospect to debut in 2027.

After some (exhaustive) research, I believe Cags and Carter are first teammates 23 or younger to go back-to-back since 1991!
That July and August, the White Sox Frank Thomas and Robin Ventura (each 23) went back to back as A.L. Players of the Month.

Good luck to all the Storm Chasers alumni competing in the 2026 Wild Card Series 🤩

Celebrating Hall of Famer Denny Matthews 8000th game. He’s truly one of a kind.

Such a special moment at Kauffman Stadium for Denny Matthews 🥹
Calling his 8,000th Royals broadcast tonight. Forever the voice of the @Royals 💙
Nicholas Badders retweeted
The counting of decades of scorecards led to a massive milestone and celebration for our friend Denny Matthews. He is the @Royals only remaining employee dating back to our first season and a one in a million broadcaster. Congrats on 8,000 to my fellow Central Illinoisan.

Some really cool nuggets here – just a remarkable achievement by Denny! Looking forward to being at The K tonight!

Thank you to every single one of you for all the support this season, we couldn't do it without you 💙
Happy to share I hit 86 players with 2 outs in the 9th inning! A 2-hour 51-minute and 17 total runs helped!
Wrapping up the season with chocolate ice cream!
