Bobby Witt Jr. DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Witt owned a season-high .920 OPS on May 10, but he has gone a meager 7-for-35 with eight strikeouts and two walks in nine games since then.

Although Giants catcher Patrick Bailey threw him out on an attempted steal Tuesday, he still ranks near the top of the majors with 16 SBs. He will look to bust out of his mini-slump in Wednesday's game against Giants ace Logan Webb.
