SURPRISE, Ariz. — Kansas City Royals young phenom Bobby Witt Jr. graciously accepted the crown bestowed upon him by MLBPipeline.com as the game’s No. 1 overall prospect. He described it as an “honor.”
At the same time, Witt clearly sees that title as bittersweet. After all, he’d gone into last spring training hoping to do enough to move past “prospect” status.
This year with things lined up for him to grab the starting third-base job and run with it, Witt aims to “graduate” from the ranks of baseball’s prospects to a bona fide major-leaguer.
