The Royals have selected Causey with the 138th overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft.
Causey spent his final collegiate season at Tennessee and was effective with heavy usage of both his changeup and slider. He is deceptive thanks to a sidearm delivery, though he often doesn't hit 90 mph with his fastball and gets hit hard without good location. Causey is likely to be a reliever as a pro.
