Bobby Witt Jr. Continues Royals Playoff Push

Bobby Witt Jr. continues to shine for the Kansas City Royals, who are vying for a playoff spot for the first time since their 2015 World Series win. Despite a recent 7-6 loss to the Detroit Tigers, Witt hit a grand slam and recorded his 200th hit of the season, making him only the third player in Royals' history to achieve this milestone at age 24 or younger. Witt, who boasts a .332 batting average, 32 homers, and 108 RBIs, is a strong MVP candidate, although he is likely to finish behind Aaron Judge. In a recent 5-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates, Witt drove in three runs, including his 100th RBI of the season. The Royals are currently holding the second wild card spot in the American League and are 1.5 games ahead of the Minnesota Twins. With 11 games left in the season, Witt is on track to break several records and lead his team into the postseason.
