There are reasons that Witt is making a case to join the show during this season - outlined in Alec Lewis' latest on The Athletic. My next door neighbor told me about this earlier this year (he runs a DFW club baseball org that also has players using Stroup's APEC facility), but it's good to see the details of what has been happening w/ Witt training w/ Mahomes trainer. It's a good read. [Reply]
Witt certainly looks the part every time he gets the chance. Experience is working against him. I can't imagine Dayton throwing a truly elite prospect out there without playing hardly any minor league games. Except for a handful of games in rookie ball. If he comes up and looks overmatched like Mondesi did at first the Royals would get destroyed. [Reply]
