Bobby Witt had a 16-year career in MLB as a pitcher. The career ERA was 4.83 with a 4.42 FIP. He must’ve pitched some juicy batting practice to his son Bobby Witt Jr. ($6,400; 33 FPTS). I kid I kid. Junior had pedigree and vaulted through the Royals minor league system after being selected second overall in the 2019 MLB Draft. Since reaching the big leagues, Witt Jr. has improved in every statistical category. In 463 plate appearances this season, he’s slashing .341/.387/.585 with a 6.5% walk rate, 15.8% strikeout rate and .244 ISO. He has 18 home runs, 85 runs, 71 RBI and 23 stolen bases.
On Monday, he continued to rack up the counting stats, going 4-for-5 with a go-ahead grand slam in the eighth inning run. He also finished with a double, four RBI and two runs scored, leading the Royals to the 8-5 win over the White Sox.
Hunter Renfroe ($3,400; 14 FPTS) and MJ Melendez ($3,000; 17 FPTS) both hit solo home runs.
For Chicago, Andrew Vaughn ($3,500; 16 FPTS) hit a solo home run and drew a walk. Luis Robert Jr. ($4,800; 20 FPTS) went 3-for-4 with a double, RBI, scored a run and stole a base.
