Bobby Witt Jr. Scorching-Hot In June
4 years agoKansas 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.
