Yessir great catch! He's now tied for the league lead in stolen bases with 21! However, he's only hit 7 HR's this season so far. On pace for just 18 for the season. Not sure what's going on with his power. BA, OBP, and SLG have all dropped significantly from last season. It's still early. Hopefully he picks it up soon.Helluva catch by Witt!
Witt Jr. is currently under an 11 year $288,777.777 million contract. However, it has an opt-outs that could extend the deal to $377,777 million. Although that's quite a bit of money, it's considered a bargain based on what superstars are paid these days.Bobby Witt, Jr is an absolute stud, franchise player. There’s only one George Brett, but if the Royals can pay him, he could be the next gen franchise player.

Bobby Witt does something that no MLB player has ever done in history
The Royals won the game on Saturday, 3-1 over Detroit, with Witt's two-run home run being the big blow in the game. Witt became the first player to ever hit 20 home runs and steal 30 bases in each of his first four seasons in the league.
