Watch Bobby Witt Jr., the Royals’ top prospect, casually make a 50-yard field goal
Royals fans already know the team’s top prospect, Bobby Witt Jr., can hit a ball a long way. There were plenty examples of that during his time last season with Triple-A Omaha and Double-A Northwest Arkansas.
Turns out, Witt can also kick a ball quite a distance, too.
Jake Eisenberg, the communications coordinator and play-by-play announcer for the Storm Chasers, recently shared a video of Witt doing his best imitation of Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker.
Witt puts the ball on a tee at the 40-yard line, so this is a 50-yard attempt and it was good.
Witt asked former Colts kicker/talk-show host Pat McAfee for a review of the kick. McAfee suggested a career change.
Even if the advice was made in jest, Royals fans would disagree with that course of action for Witt.
