EDGE Analysis

Witt smashed his 14th home run of the season Saturday, a 431-foot shot to center off Eli Morgan in the seventh.

However, he was unable to complete the feat, grounding out to the pitcher in the ninth inning. WItt possesses a rare blend of speed and power, ranking fourth in baseball in steals and fourth in homers among shortstops, making him an elite fantasy asset.
