Bobby Witt Jr.

2026 fantasy baseball stats, Steamer ROS projections, and Baseball Savant Statcast metrics.

Fantasy Outlook

Witt is the definition of a five-category fantasy asset. He combines 30-homer power with 30-steal speed at shortstop, and his batting average hovers near .300 thanks to elite bat-to-ball skills. His barrel rate has been stable around 12-13% across seasons, and his average exit velocity sits above 92 mph. In H2H Categories leagues, he is arguably the most valuable player in fantasy.

The key stat to watch is his sprint speed. In 2025 he ran 30.2 ft/s, elite tier. Any sustained dip below 29 ft/s would reduce the stolen base upside that separates him from other power hitters. Steamer projects 28 HR, 31 SB, and a .293 AVG rest of season, which depends on maintaining that speed through the summer.

Verdict: Hold. Witt is the safest pick in fantasy baseball. The five-category contribution at shortstop is irreplaceable. His barrel rate and exit velo support the power, and the sprint speed supports the steals. Nearly impossible to replicate through trades.
