Bobby Witt Jr. continues to hit 2nd for the Royals on Saturday, as they face Yankees’ ace Gerrit Cole.Bobby Witt Jr. continues to hit 2nd for the Royals on Saturday, a spot he’s been in for the last 5 games. This consistency in the lineup could be beneficial for Witt, as he’s facing Gerrit Cole, a tough right-handed pitcher for the Yankees.
Witt is also back at shortstop, which has been his primary position this season. This stability in both his defensive role and lineup spot might help him perform better against Cole, who has been dominant this year.
