What was once considered a weakness turned into a massive strength for the soon-to-be 25-year-old. And with batting average looking more and more like the scarce category to fill in fantasy baseball (remember when it was stolen bases?), one could make the argument that Bobby Witt Jr., being younger and fresher, should be the No. 1 draft pick over the otherworldly Shohei Ohtani.
At the very least, Witt is poised to be a top-three pick this year.
