Witt Jr. really needs to hit the ground running this year. The best reports coming out from the organization were that he was a good teammate in his limited action last year. Most of the other top 10 picks advanced to A ball last year after dominating in rookie ball. Bobby Witt Jr couldn't make it past rookie ball where he hit a mere .262/.317. For comparison, CJ Abrams hit .401/.442 in rookie ball over 32 games before advancing to A ball for a 2 game stint. I don't know if it's is taking the wrong player or our development program being so piss poor, but it's highly discouraging when a highly heralded guy like Witt Jr isn't able to come in and dominate the way his draft pedigree says he should.
