Before Tuesday's contest against the Guardians, Witt was asked about making his major league debut four seasons ago, speaking about how it's "an honor to play in the big leagues." He also expressed how it "was special" to be in an atmosphere that was bustling inside Kauffman Stadium.
"Every day, wake up, it's an honor to play in the big leagues, so just got to treat it like that," Witt said, according to Royals TV. "And so it's been, what, five years. So it's been a while now, but I'm just trying to treat every day like opening day."
"Yeah, it was. It was special," Witt continued. "Just Kauffman was Kauffman loud and an amazing atmosphere. And then just being able to get the first hit out of the way and winning the ball game was, I think, the biggest thing. Winning on opening day is special, especially the first game."
Fast forward to the present, and Witt has been one of the shining young stars in the MLB, as the 25-year-0ld looks to keep it going and bring Kansas City some shine in baseball. Currently, through 10 games ahead of Tuesday's clash with Cleveland, Witt has recorded a .270 batting average to go along with nine RBIs, still looking to find his first home run of the season.
