Bobby Witt Jr. was drafted by the Kansas City Royals in the 2019 MLB Draft. He was sent to the minors to start his career. MLB.com's bold prediction for the Royals is that Witt will win the AL Rookie of the Year.
Bobby Witt Jr. was drafted by the Kansas City Royals as the No. 2 pick in the 2019 MLB Draft. He was sent to the minors during spring training. MLB.com's bold prediction for the Royals is that Witt will win the AL Rookie of the Year in 2021. Witt wowed in spring and he's starting the year in minor leagues. The award probably won't go to someone who gets called up past June. The Royals are not the most exciting team. If Witt plays a major role in them contending late in season or even making the postseason, the bold predictions won’t be so bold.
Bobby Witt Jr. is the Royals' top prospect and baseball's No. 7 prospect per MLB Pipeline. He will not be on the Opening Day roster, so he needs to come up in the early part of the season with everyday playing time and stick with the club the rest of season.
