Royals’ Bobby Witt Jr. still highly regarded by peers despite step back in 2025

It says something about the talent of Kansas City Royals star Bobby Witt Jr. that he had a disappointing 2025 season - compared to the other-worldly MVP runner-up season he had in 2024 - and is still considered one of the best players of the summer.

Witt received exciting news on Wednesday when he was honored for his efforts outside the batter's box. Rawlings Baseball announced the finalists for the Gold Glove Award at shortstop, and Witt was selected as one of three American League representatives. One day later, he earned a rather impressive honor from his peers.
