Fantasy Impact:

Witt, back Saturday with a .276/.364/.586 line, two homers, four RBI, and five runs in 11 spring games, shakes off Wednesday’s forearm bruise. The 24-year-old’s hot start signals another standout year for Kansas City. Fantasy managers can lock him in as a top-tier shortstop with elite power-speed combo potential for 2025.
