The Kansas City Royals are heading toward being sellers at this year’s trade deadline regardless of how they perform over the next two weeks. This season has been a disaster due to a mix of both underperformance and injuries throughout the roster.
Despite the chaos in Kansas City, one constant has remained, and that is the play of shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. Now in his fifth season with the Royals, the 26-year-old has solidified himself as the best all-around player in the league.
He currently leads the American League in WAR at 4.9, a reflection of how excellent he is defensively and on the basepaths.
In the batter’s box he has continued to deliver, posting a .279 batting average, .350 on-base percentage, .800 OPS, 13 home runs and 39 RBIs.
