The Royals shortstop takes home the coveted weekly honor for the first time in his career, joining his father, Bobby Witt Sr., and his uncle, Mike Witt, in the group of all-time winners.
Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. was named the American League's Player of the Week on Tuesday. This is the first time in his career that he'll take home the coveted honor.
Witt joins his father, Bobby Sr., in this elite club, as the former pitcher won the weekly award with the Oakland Athletics on July 2, 1994. It doesn't stop there though, as Mike Witt, Jr.'s uncle and Sr.'s brother, took it home three times as a then-California Angels pitcher.Witt is currently either first or second on the team in every hitting category as we eclipse one-third of the regular season.
