The Kansas City Royals have known for a long time that they have a bona fide superstar on their hands in Bobby Witt Jr. After all, they don't hand out nearly $300 million contracts for terms longer than a decade to just anyone.
But over the past two seasons in particular, the baseball world in general has really caught up to what Kansas City has known all along when it comes to their face of the franchise.
Between 2024 and 2025, Witt has appeared in two All-Star games, won a pair of both Silver Sluggers and Gold Gloves and was the 2024 AL MVP runner-up.
