Witt went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-3 loss to Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Witt went from cold to hot in a hurry. He's gone 12-for-22 (.545) during his active five-game hitting streak, and he's added four stolen bases in that span. The shortstop's surge has him up to .298/.344/.474 with two home runs, five steals, six RBI and eight runs scored in 15 contests. The Royals' offense hasn't been very good behind him, which is hurting his counting stats, but there's still plenty to like from the talented 22-year-old when he's hitting like this.

Witt went 3-for-4 in Friday's 10-3 loss to Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Witt's slow start to the season is quickly becoming a fading memory, as he's gone 9-for-17 (.529) over his last four games. While he didn't directly generate any run-scoring plays, it's good to see the shortstop swinging the bat well. He's up to a .269/.321/.423 slash line with two home runs, five stolen bases, six RBI and six runs scored through 14 contests.

Witt went 3-for-5 with a triple, a run, an RBI and three stolen bases in a 10-1 victory versus Texas on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Witt singled and stole first base in the first inning, setting the tone for a fruitful evening for his fantasy managers. He knocked in a run with a triple his next time up, then singled and swiped both second and third base before scoring in the seventh frame. With his effort on the basepaths, the speedy young shortstop more than doubled his stolen-base total -- which jumped from two to five -- on the campaign. Witt started off slowly this season but is starting to pick up the pace, going 6-for-13 with three runs, two RBI and four thefts over his past three contests.

Witt went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in Monday's loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Things looked promising for Kansas City when Witt began the contest with a single, subsequently stole second base and came around to score on an error. That would prove to be the high point of hope for the Royals, however, as Texas scored the game's next 11 runs. Witt at least gave his fantasy managers something to celebrate with his second theft of the campaign, which he's complemented with two homers and four RBI. However, the second-year shortstop has struggled overall with a .158/.238/.316 slash line through 11 contests.

Witt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's win over San Francisco.

EDGE Analysis

Witt got the Royals on the scoreboard with his second homer of the season in the sixth inning off Giants starter Sean Manaea. The shortstop also struck out twice, however, and has struggled to a .161/.235/.355 slash line over the first nine games. It's just a matter of time until more hits start falling for Witt.

Witt isn't in the Royals' lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

After breaking his cold streak by going 2-for-5 with a home run Thursday, Witt will get a day to rest Friday. The young infielder will yield shortstop duties to Nicky Lopez, who will bat seventh.

Witt went 2-for-5 with a solo home run Thursday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Witt took Trevor Richards yard in the eighth inning to tally his first homer of the season. He's had a slow start to the campaign overall, as he has just four hits across 29 plate appearances. Positively, he's struck out only five times in that span, so he should have more hits fall in soon.

Witt went 2-for-3 with a run, two RBI, one walk and one steal Monday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

He got his first hits of the season and also stole his first base. Most encouragingly, Witt has a 3:3 K:BB in 16 plate appearances this season.

Witt went 0-for-4 during Saturday's loss to the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Witt has yet to pick up a hit in his first two games of the season. There's obviously plenty of time left in the season, but it's possible there's some rust to shake off after not getting regular playing time for Team USA during the World Baseball Classic in March. There's no reason to panic at this point, but it's a disappointing start for one of the most talented players in baseball.

Witt has a hit in his only at-bat through two games for Team USA at the World Baseball Classic.

EDGE Analysis

Witt has been a bench bat for the USA, but he was fortunate to log plenty of time in spring training before leaving for the international tournament. Over seven Cactus League games, he hit .389 (7-for-18) with four RBI, a stolen base and six runs scored. Witt showed enticing speed (30 steals) and power (20 home runs, 31 doubles) over 150 games as a rookie last year, and he is penciled in as the Royals' starting shortstop this season after spending a large part of 2022 at third base.
