The pick in question? American League Most Valuable Player!
While Aaron Judge claimed MVP honors last season with another dominant campaign, Feinsand believes the crown may soon have a new owner. His pick? Bobby Witt Jr., the Kansas City Royals’ electric shortstop who nearly took home the award last year. With his rare blend of power, speed, and defensive wizardry, Witt is primed to take center stage in 2025—if he can take that final step from star to outright superstar.

Witt finished second last season, narrowly losing out to Judge despite putting up a spectacular season. The debate between these two elites has raged ever since, with fanatics weighing in on who was more deserving of the honor. But this year, there is no more confusion; Mark is clear on his bold stance – MVP is Witt’s for the taking!
While Judge’s power-packed presence in the Bronx remains undeniable, Witt’s all-around game is rapidly gaining recognition as one of the league’s most complete ones. The rising star’s combination of power, speed, and defensive prowess makes him a nightmare for opposing teams and is enough to dethrone Aaron Judge.
Now, as the 2025 season unfolds, the real question is whether Witt can again top the numbers that earned him the second spot last year and surpass the likes of Judge. If Mark’s prediction holds, Bobby could very well sit on the table of the game’s greats soon. The future is bright, and the predictions fueling the fire are that Witt will be poised to bring the silverware home!
Bobby Witt Jr.: A rising star with an unstoppable mindset
To be ranked third among the top 100 MLB players, and that too just behind greats like Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge, is an achievement that most players would celebrate. But for Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr., it’s only the beginning.
After a stellar 2024 season and a debut All-Star selection, Witt finds himself among the elite and yet his feet remain grounded. “You take it with a grain of salt,” Witt says while reflecting on his spot among the best. “You’re in this position, it gives you confidence and comfortability about where you’re at. But also, there’s always more room to improve.”
While the recognition of being ranked just behind Ohtani and Judge served as a confidence booster, Witt knows that the journey is far from over. His thirst for growth and relentless drive to be better is what sets him apart from many of his peers. The difference is mentality. It’s easy to rest easy on your laurels after such a season, but Witt is all about progress.
“It’s really cool, but then it’s also like writing on the wall, now you got to go make something happen.” This attitude of constant improvement is what fuels his ascent to greatness. No matter how high he climbs, his hunger to evolve has no end! With his mindset, talent, and relentless drive, the sky’s the limit for this rising star.
And as he continues his hungry chase of greatness, one thing is sure: the best is yet to come!
