Weekend Rumblings - News for January 22, 2022
Witt is the top prospect in baseball because he has as much upside as anyone and functionally can’t be nitpicked. He jumped straight from the complex to Double-A and mashed, then mashed more at Triple-A. Back in those halcyon complex days of 2019, we had some concerns about his ability to hit well placed upper-minors breaking stuff, concerns he completely shredded by last June. He hits the ball hard—not as hard as Rodríguez, but pretty hard—and with excellent launch angle optimization. He’s a capable shortstop, and if he gets moved to third or second by Kansas City’s organizational needs, we think he’ll really excel there long-term.
