How Bobby Witt Jr., son of former Ranger, became the 2019 amateur draft's darling prospect after national showcase tour

Do English composition teachers still start the high school year by asking for the "How I Spent My Summer Vacation" essay?

If so, Bobby Witt Jr. delivered a doozy to the staff at Colleyville Heritage.

Witt, son of the former Rangers pitcher, crisscrossed the country on a baseball odyssey this summer. His stops included:

The Perfect Game National Showcase, at St. Petersburg, Fla., and USA Baseball's tryouts for the under-18 team at Cary, N.C., in June.

The Major League Baseball All-Star Game in Washington, D.C., for the high school home run derby, followed by the Under Armour All-Star Game at Chicago in July.
