MLB Article: KC Royals 3B Bobby Witt Jr. Will Rebound After ‘Down’ Year in 2022

Summarized by: Live Sports Direct
 

Some people believe Bobby Witt Jr. didn't live up to expectations in his debut season with the Kansas City Royals.

Bobby Witt Jr. is having a down season for the Royals. He's not a good enough player to win the Rookie of the Year award. However, he's a very good player in 2022.  

Bobby Witt had a down year in his rookie season. He will probably have the worst numbers in a season for the next 10-15 years.

Bobby Witt had a down season for the Royals. He is in the top 10 among rookies with at least 300 plate appearances this season. However, he is still in good shape and should improve as he prepares for year two. He's in 68th percentile in Average Exit Velocity, 72nd percentile xSLG and 100th in Sprint Speed. Earlier this month, Witt became the fifth first-year player to join the 20-20 club. Witt is also the fourth fastest player in MLB to reach that mark.
