When will the Royals call up Bobby Witt, Jr.?

Bobby Witt, Jr. came into spring training this year the #1 prospect in the organization and one of the top prospects in the game. He wowed teammates and coaches with his play during spring training and there was even talk he could make the team out of spring training.
