Bobby Witt Jr. Stats

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. and first baseman Nick Pratto have been on fire in Triple-A and "look ready now" for the majors. Witt Jr. is slashing .299/.356/.628 with 12 doubles, 11 home runs, 29 RBI over 32 games in Triple-A. Royals general manager called Witt Jr. "the best player in all of minor league baseball right now." Pratto is slashing .281/.362/.669 with 10 doubles, 11 home runs, and 31 RBI over 32 games in Triple-A. He is having a nice bounce-back year after missing 2020 due to COVID-19. Both prospects continue to mash in Triple-A and look major league-ready, but the Royals aren't in any rush to promote either one of them. Witt Jr. and Pratto could get a September call-up and are worth stashing in redraft leagues if fantasy managers have the roster room.

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. was promoted to Triple-A Omaha on Sunday, according to Anne Rogers of MLB.com. The move is not too surprising, as Witt had been raking at Double-A Northwest-Arkansas this season, slashing .292/.369/.568 with 16 homers, 14 steals, 49 RBI and 44 runs scored over 58 games. Witt is now one step closer to the majors, but there's really no rush right now for the Royals to promote him all the way to Kansas City. If Witt can continue to rake at Triple-A, it's possible that we could see him get a brief call-up late this year. It's not time to stash him in redraft leagues yet, but definitely keep a close eye on him at Triple-A.

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr., the No. 7 overall prospect in baseball, recorded a career-high four hits, including a three run home run (12th of the season), and five RBI for Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Saturday. Witt finished a triple shy of the cycle and is hitting .409 (18-for-44) with two home runs and 13 RBI in his last 11 games down on the farm. He ranks among the Double-A Central leaders in hits (29, second), extra-base hits (13, tied for first), total bases (55, second) and RBI (18, tied for fourth) since June 1. Witt struggled early in the season but is now hitting .286 (50-for-175) with 12 homers and 31 RBI in his first 43 Double-A games. The second overall pick in 2019 also has 12 stolen bases in 18 attempts and is a must-own in dynasty/keeper formats. There's an outside chance he could come up later this season, but don't bank on it.
