Professional career

[edit | edit source]

On March 3, 2018, Avila signed with the Kansas City Royals as an international free agent.[1] He made his professional debut with the Dominican Summer League Royals. Avila returned to the DSL Royals in 2019, recording a 6.41 ERA and 22 strikeouts over 12 appearances.[2] He did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]

Avila returned to action in 2021 with the rookie–level Arizona League Royals and Single–A Columbia Fireflies. In 14 games (10 starts) for the two affiliates, he compiled a 3–6 record and 4.66 ERA with 51 strikeouts across 58 innings pitched.[4] Avila returned to Columbia in 2022, making 26 starts and registering a 6–10 record and 4.54 ERA with 97 strikeouts across 115 innings of work.[5] He spent the 2023 campaign with the High–A Quad Cities River Bandits, logging a 4–7 record and 4.39 ERA with 102 strikeouts in 108+2⁄3 innings pitched across 22 games (20 starts).[6]

In 2024, Avila made 20 starts split between the Double–A Northwest Arkansas Naturals and Triple–A Omaha Storm Chasers, compiling a 6–5 record and 4.14 ERA with 85 strikeouts across 87 innings of work. Following the season, the Royals added Avila to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[7]

Avila was optioned to Triple-A Omaha to begin the 2025 season,[8] where he logged a 2–2 record and 4.67 ERA with 51 strikeouts in 44+1⁄3 innings pitched across 10 games (nine starts). On August 11, 2025, Avila was promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[9] On September 10, Avila recorded his first career win, tossing two scoreless innings against the Cleveland Guardians.[10]
