The Bobby Witt trajectory: Hall of Fame or even more

Related Topics: Bobby Witt, Bobby Witt Jr

Last year Bobby Witt Jr. put up the 104th-best season of all time for any position player in the history of major league baseball per Baseball Reference. That is a rather impressive feat, but Fangraphs had him as even better than that. Out of 20,786 position player seasons since 1900 (min 350PA), fWAR has Bobby as the 42nd-best season. He has shown that his top-end production belongs with the greatest of all time. This year he has a chance to show whether that means he is heading toward Cooperstown like a normal great player or if he is setting a trajectory that is aimed at the inner circle.
