Witt Jr. has been a standout player for the Royals, despite a challenging series against the Rangers where he struggled to make his mark with a batting average of .000 across three games. However, his defensive prowess remained unchallenged, maintaining a perfect fielding percentage throughout.


On the other side, Jazz Chisholm of the Marlins has shown why he's considered one of the team's most dynamic players. Chisholm boasted an impressive .500 batting average in one of the previous games against the Mariners, highlighting his offensive capabilities alongside his flawless fielding performance.

The Royals have seen commendable performances from other players as well. Nicky Lopez demonstrated resilience and skill with a .250 batting average and an OPS of 0.75 in one game, showcasing his potential impact on the upcoming match. Similarly, Salvador Perez and Vinnie Pasquantino are names to watch, given their consistent efforts to bolster the team's lineup despite recent struggles at bat.


For the Marlins, Bryan De La Cruz emerged as a significant threat in their last game against the Mariners, achieving a staggering .750 batting average and an OPS of 2.5. His performance could pose challenges for the Royals' pitchers if he continues on this trajectory.
