BP25 is his card number in the Bowman Prospects sequence – issued the year after the Royals selected him 2nd overall in the 2019 MLB Draft and began building the prospect infrastructure around what they believed his ceiling would eventually be. ⚾\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e⚾ Bobby Witt Jr. grew up in Colleyville, Texas, the son of Bobby Witt Sr. – the right-handed starting pitcher who made 432 major league appearances across a career with the Texas Rangers, Oakland Athletics, Florida Marlins, and St. Louis Cardinals. Growing up with a father in the major leagues and the professional baseball perspective that comes with that household gave Witt Jr. a development path that scouts noticed before he was old enough to drive. The combination of his 6'1” frame, his above-average raw power for a shortstop, the arm strength that made him viable at the position long-term, and the bat speed that produced hard contact across the zone made him exactly the kind of player that a rebuilding Royals franchise would target at number two in the draft. ⚾\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e🏆 PSA 10 Gem Mint on the Bowman Paper Prospects format certifies the card at the peak of the condition scale – four sharp corners, full original gloss, no staining, no print defects, and centering within specification. For a player who developed into one of the most dynamic shortstops in the American League, his first Bowman prospect card at PSA 10 represents the origin-story entry into the collecting conversation. ⚾\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e⚾ Bobby Witt Jr. Kansas City Royals.
