2025 Player Outlook
What is there to say about Bobby Witt Jr.? The kid is absolutely phenomenal, and he's been a member of the 30/30 club each of the last two seasons. He his .332 last year (.315 xBA), and it seems to be legit, as he shaved a few percentage points off his strikeout rate and increased his barrel rate and average exit velocity. Say what you want about the Royals at home, and Witt Jr. was electric at home, but even on the road, he hit .284 with a .505 SLG. He's going to be within the top three picks in every draft this year, and rightfully so. Even if he hits .300 instead of .330+ again, he's a coveted five-category star.
Player News
Bobby Witt Jr. tripled and drove in two runs while helping the Royals to a 7-5 win over the Astros on Wednesday.
Bobby Witt Jr. went 0-for-4 and struck out three times against the Red Sox on Sunday.
The Red Sox must have had a pretty good plan against Witt, as he struck out seven times while going 2-for-11 in the series. He was striking out just 15 percent of the time this season coming into the series.
Bobby Witt Jr. went 4-for-5 with two stolen bases in a win Thursday over the White Sox.
Witt Jr. has now stolen 13 bases on the season. The four hits are a season-high for the MVP runner-up, and it seems likely he’ll reach that total again in 2025. He’s now hitting .324/.392/.530, and that slash would be unsustainable for the overwhelming majority of hitters. Bobby Witt Jr. is not one of those hitters.
Bobby Witt Jr. hit a two-run homer to lead the Royals to a 2-1 win over the White Sox on Wednesday.
Witt Jr. was responsible for all of the Kansas City offense with a two-run homer off Jonathan Cannon. It’s his fifth homer of the season, and three of those have come in the month of May. The 24-year-old superstar has hit .308/.380/.507, and it’s more than reasonable to expect even better things over the summer month.
