Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. is one of the best players in all of MLB. The 25-year-old is a two-time All-Star who already has two top four American League MVP voting finishes. From a national standpoint, though, Witt is not quite as popular as players such as Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge, Paul Skenes, Tarik Skubal and Bryce Harper. The 2026 World Baseball Classic may provide him with the opportunity to take the next step as far as popularity and marketability are concerned.
