Tanner Witt

Minor League Top Prospects

• Ranked #4 prospect in 2014
  A closer/outfielder at Kansas State, Witt moved to second base this year because his Rockford manager James Frisbie knew that an undersized second baseman would be more appealing to an affiliated club than an undersized corner outfielder. Witt has plenty of arm for second base and decent hands, but he does need to continue to improve his footwork and his ability to turn the double play. At the plate, he's shown consistent ability to get on base, dating back to his days at Kansas State. He has a reasonably short stroke with gap power. He's a tick above-average runner but without much ability to steal bases.
