No ordinary summer schedule for potential No. 1 pick in 2019 MLB Draft

Sleeping in until noon after an all-nighter playing Fortnite is not something Colleyville Heritage shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. will be doing this summer.

Far from, actually.

On Wednesday, Witt, who is projected to be the No. 1 overall selection in the 2019 MLB Draft, will begin a month's long baseball adventure that will take him all over to compete in arguably the top amateur showcase in the sport and also for a spot on a national team.

First stop: St. Petersburg, Fla. for the Perfect Game National Showcase, which takes place June 14-17 at Tropicana Field.
