Bobby Witt Jr. has been on a roll lately, writes Anne Rogers.
But perhaps there is something to taking away the pressure of being the first hitter to the plate and setting the tone.
“I’ll do whatever, hit wherever, to be in the lineup,” Witt said. “But how I am, I do put pressure on myself to see pitches, not see pitches, try to get on. I do put a lot of pressure on myself. And I swing a lot.”
Or perhaps Witt is just in a groove right now.
