Bobby Witt Jr. Stats

Kansas City Royals shortstop prospect went 3-for-4 with three home runs on Sunday at the Double-A level. The 20-year-old now has seven homers in 22 games this season his first full year in pro ball after being drafted second overall in 2019. Will Jr. has faced a significant challenge this season while jumping from Rookie ball up to Double-A with the lost pandemic season sandwiched in between. He has a massive ceiling but the strong game only bumped his average up to .233 and he has a 30% strikeout rate. Witt Jr. is likely headed for a collision course with the majors as early as 2022 and is unlikely to arrive during the 2021 season despite the massive hype around him.

Kansas City Royals prospect Bobby Witt Jr.went 2-for-4 and hit his third home run of the season on Sunday. The 20-year-old shortstop also added his first double of the year. Along with flexing his power, Witt has also been busy on the base paths and has six steals in nine attempts as he looks to develop into a power-speed threat for the Royals. The young infielder has understandably had some growing pains while making the jump from Rookie ball to Double-A. He's hitting a modest .235 with a K:BB ratio of 21-7 in 16 games. It's unlikely that Witt will reach the majors in 2021, but he's on track to reach the Show in 2022.

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. is playing at the team's alternate site at Northwest Arkansas, according to Josh Vernier of 610 Sports Radio. Witt had been in Arizona preparing for the minor league season, but now with the injury to Adalberto Mondesi, Witt has joined the team's taxi squad. This could mean that managers will get to see Witt in the majors sooner than later, as he looked good this spring where he slashed .289/.325/.526 with three homers in 14 games.
