Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. had a productive day in his team's 4-1 win over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday. Witt went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and a walk in the winning effort. The star shortstop's homer in the third inning gave the Royals a 2-1 lead, a blast that traveled 398 feet with an exit velocity of 103.9 MPH. Witt has been dominant at the plate this season, hitting .349 with 24 homers, 102 runs, 89 RBI, and 25 steals over 482 at-bats, putting him in must-start territory for fantasy gamers.
Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. (forearm) is starting at shortstop and is hitting second on Tuesday against the hosting division-rival Minnesota Twins and rookie right-hander Zebby Matthews, who is making his big-league debut. Witt underwent tests after Monday's series opener versus the Twins after being hit by a pitch on his left forearm, but everything checked out fine and he's good to go for Game 2 of the series. The 24-year-old needs to be in all fantasy lineups as one of the best all-around players in the game in only his third MLB season. Witt currently leads the league in batting average (.347), games played (119), runs scored (101) and hits (165) while adding 23 homers, 88 RBI and 25 stolen bases in 524 plate appearances. The kid is an absolute beast.
Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. (forearm, wrist) was hit by a pitch in the forearm/wrist area of his left arm in Monday's 8-3 loss to the hosting division-rival Minnesota Twins, but he said it hit his shoulder first. Witt has a bone bruise and underwent some tests after the game. "I think the loss hurts more than the hit by pitch," Witt said. The 24-year-old superstar stayed in for the duration of the game and finished 1-for-3 with a solo home run, his 23rd of the season. He's now hitting a league-leading .347 on the season with a 1.003 OPS, 23 homers, 88 RBI, 25 stolen bases and a league-leading 101 runs scored in 119 games played in his third year in the majors. It's possible that Witt could be rested on Tuesday, but it sounds like he avoided a long-term injury. Witt also leads the league with 165 hits.
Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. had another monster performance on Saturday as he went 3-for-4 with a triple, three RBI, and a run. Witt brought in his first run of the game off a groundout to score Kyle Isbel in the third inning. Then, later in the seventh frame, the 24-year-old ripped an RBI triple to score Maikel Garcia. To cap off the night, he knocked an RBI single in the eighth to score Isbel for the second time. Through 118 games this summer, the former second-overall pick carries an incredible .347/.394/.604 line with 22 home runs and 25 RBI. Witt remains a top fantasy option in all formats and should be one of the first players selected in drafts next spring, given his elite five-category potential.
Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. put together yet another huge night at the dish in Wednesday evening's win over the visiting Boston Red Sox at Kauffman Stadium, piling up three hits, two home runs, three runs, and four RBI in the victory. Witt put the Royals on the board with a solo home run in the bottom of the first inning on Wednesday, later restoringKC's lead with a two-run double in the fourth inning and putting the Royals up 8-4 with his second homer of the game in the sixth inning. The 24-year-old budding superstar has been utterly unstoppable at home this season, slashing .409/.458/.736 with 12 big flies, 25 doubles, eight triples, and 46 RBI over 235 at-bats (61 games).
