In 1975 Royster was named Pacific Coast League Player of the Year with a .333 batting average, 91 runs scored, and 33 stolen bases, but he never hit nearly as well in the majors. He saw his most action in 1979, playing 80 games at third base and 77 at second base for the Braves, and hit .273 with career highs of 103 runs, 51 RBI, 25 doubles, and 35 stolen bases. He spent most of his career as a useful utility man.
