Kansas City Royals farmhand Bobby Witt Jr. was named the MLB’s No. 1 top prospect on Thursday evening. Witt Jr., who was drafted by the Royals in 2019, was also named the 2021 Minor League Player of the Year by Baseball America. The shortstop split his time last season with Class AA Northwest Arkansas and Class AAA Omaha, the Royals’ minor-league affiliates. Between the two, he appeared in 123 games, leading all minor-league players in extra-base hits. Witt Jr. also hit 33 home runs with 97 RBIs. KDWD will begin our 8th season of Royals baseball this afternoon at 3:00 as the Royals play the Texas Rangers in Surprise Arizona in the first Spring Training game.
