Wit Jr., who started the game as Kansas City’s No. 2 and shortstop on the day, led the team’s lineup by making two hits and one walk from three times at bat. He is the only multi-hit player in his team.
Witte Jr. hit a hit by Nestor Cortes in the fourth inning, got on base, and made his team’s first run at the follow-up double. He also added a hit and a walk in the sixth and eighth innings.
Wit Jr., who was on third base including multi-hitters, had a batting average of 0.330, 11 homers, 50 RBIs, 59 runs and 93 hits, and an on-base percentage of 0.379 OPS of 0.943 in 70 games of the season.
As a result, Witt Jr. beat Luis Arraez with a batting average of 0.326 to become the lead in the Major League Baseball in this category. He is one cent shy of Juan Soto, who is ranking second in the American League.
Witte Jr. recorded 30 home runs last year, but his on-base percentage was very low at 0.319. However, he has shown a high on-base percentage this season due to improved walk-and-strike ratio.
Witt Jr. is also leading the team by excelling in defense and baserunning. Watchers say his 11-year-to-288.7 million-dollar contract is worthwhile.
Meanwhile, Kansas City allowed its team to come from behind by 2-3 by allowing three runs in the eighth inning due to setbacks in relief. The team is on the verge of losing all four consecutive away games against the New York Yankees.
However, Kansas City won the game 4-3 after successfully targeting New York Yankees closer Clay Holmes in the last nine innings. Maikel Garcia hit a walk-off hit.
