What a first four seasons for the Kansas City shortstop.
Bobby Witt Jr. made history on Saturday night. After winning the first game of the day on a walk-off home run by Jonathan India, Witt put the Kansas City Royals right back in the game in the nightcap.
Witt smacked a two-run home run to left field, it was his 15th of the season, and the score went to 6-4 Cleveland Guardians.
Following the home run, Sarah Langs posted the historical feat. The Royals shortstop became the first player EVER in Major League Baseball history to record 15 or more home runs and steal 25 or more bases in EACH of his first four seasons.

Witt is hitting under .300 on the season, but the shortstop will still be fighting at or near the top of the American League batting leaders once the season comes to an end. He is currently at .288. In the first game, he went 1-4.
