The case for Kansas City Royals’ Bobby Witt Jr. as AL Rookie of the Year: podcast
The Kansas City Royals’ Bobby Witt Jr. is having a terrific season, and in most years his numbers, like becoming the fifth rookie to hit at least 20 home runs and steal 20 bases, would make him the top candidate for the American League Rookie of the Year award.
But it’s looking like an uphill challenge for Witt, with Julio Rodriguez of the Seattle Mariners also posting a 20/20 season and putting up other big numbers.
On today’s SportsBeat KC podcast, beat writer Lynn Worthy looks at Witt’s chances as the top rookie award along with several other topics, like how the Royals will handle players coming off the injured list this week.
