Plus: Bobby Witt Jr. FLIES around the bases
And run he did. Because once Bobby Witt Jr. reaches full speed, it's hard for him to stop. The Mariners found that out in just 14.3 seconds during Kansas City's wild 7-6 walk-off win on Monday night at Kauffman Stadium. In the fifth inning, Witt ripped a 105.9 mph line drive that got lost in the lights by Mariners right fielder Dominic Canzone. That was just the break Witt needed -- and he was off to the races. The Royals star cruised using his elite speed -- finishing it off in a flourish with a flying Superman-style headfirst slide at home -- to record the fourth-fastest inside-the-park HR time tracked by Statcast. Said Royals manager Matt Quatraro: "It's fun to watch him run." |
