Bobby Witt Jr.KCR · SS

2026 review

Bobby Witt Jr. was a hard-contact shortstop who still came up short of his own contact quality: he hit .281/.359/.441 with a 17.2 K% and a 10.6 BB% over 632 PA for KCR, adding 33 2B, 18 HR, 94 R, 54 RBI and 45 SB, and his 50.3 HardHit% over 453 BBE was the 20th highest of 267 hitters with 300+ PA. He was placed on the 10-day IL Jul 22, retroactive to Jul 21, for low back tightness, and activated Aug 4, missing 14 regular-season days. His average barely moved around the stint, .279 over 369 AB before it and .286 over 189 AB after. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 2 in every draft, he finished 21st of 1472 overall and 18th of 660 hitters, 19 spots below his ADP rank, and 4th of 61 shortstops. His .345 wOBA ran 33 points below his .378 xwOBA over 632 PA. The card followed an arc from an early hot streak with a first homer and a hit streak in early May, through a profile riding a hot streak by late Aug, to a season it called a strong full year by late Sep, treating a late slump as a small dip against that season.
