Overview
- Manager Matt Quatraro moved Witt to the top of the order in Friday’s game in Surprise and plans to hit him leadoff again Saturday before he departs for Team USA camp.
- Quatraro said he is "pretty sure" Witt will serve as Team USA’s leadoff hitter at the World Baseball Classic.
- Witt opened Friday’s game with a hard single and later homered, and he is 6-for-13 this spring with a double, a triple, a homer and four RBIs.
- Kansas City will monitor his spring and WBC performance before deciding whether to keep him in the leadoff spot for the regular season.
- The trial offers a look at a potential order, with Maikel Garcia batting second and Salvador Perez, Isaac Collins and Vinny Pasquantino following Witt.
