The Kansas City Royals could soon get a glimpse of their top prospect after playing the remainder of the 2019 season in Rookie League. Bobby Witt Jr. was selected with the second overall pick in June’s draft and was ranked as the best high school shortstop in the country. As noted, after being drafted, Witt was sent to Arizona to get his feet wet with professional baseball. He posted a respectable 0.262/0.317/0.354 line with 2 doubles, 5 triples, 1 home run, 27 RBI, and 9 stolen bases in 37 games.
Not long after hearing Witt’s name called, Brady McConnell was selected with the Royals’ second-round pick.
