Bobby Witt Jr. Busy During Saturday’s Defeat
10 months agoKansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. went 3-for-5 with a home run, a triple, two RBI, and a stolen base in Saturday's 10-6 loss to the Cleveland Guardians. The former top prospect made life difficult for current top-prospect Gavin Williams in this one with a first-inning single followed by a swipe of second base. Witt then tripled in a run during the fifth frame to get the Royals on the board. The 23-year-old wasn't finished yet, clobbering a homer off Eli Morgan in the seventh. Witt grounded out in his last trip to the dish a double short of the cycle. The former No. 2 overall pick has been just as productive as he was last year, batting .256 with a .738 OPS, 14 round-trippers, 47 RBI, and 27 thefts over 359 at-bats this season.
