Bobby Witt Jr. is enjoying a solid rookie season, becoming the fifth player to hit at least 20 home runs and steal at least 20 bases in his very first season. He has had some ups and downs but it is clear he at least has the skillset to be a cornerstone player for this franchise, if not a league star.
Having made the Opening Day roster, Witt is guaranteed to get a full year of service time this year (and he might have anyway had he finished in the top two of Rookie of the Year balloting under a new provision in the labor deal).
