Through 16 MLB games, Witt Jr. ranked second in the league for fWAR, average velocity, and hard-hit ball percentage. On top of that, a .321 batting average, 25 hits, and stellar defense make the young shortstop one of the best players in baseball at the moment. There were some shouts for Marcel Ozuna and Mookie Betts to win the award instead, but ultimately, the devs gave the nod to Kansas City’s lead man. Let’s jump right into how players can get their hands on this card.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to unlock Lightning Player Bobby Witt Jr.

  1. Complete the Season Awards Drop 1 Program
  2. Complete the Season Awards Drop 2 Program
  3. Complete the Season Awards Drop 3 Program
  4. Complete the Season Awards Drop 4 Player
  5. Put Season Awards Series Ronel Blanco, Spencer Steer, Garret Crochet, and Michael Conforto in the Season 1 Awards Collection to unlock Lightning Player Bobby Witt Jr.

All four Programs require 50 stars to complete. You can earn those stars by completing Moments and XP Missions, purchasing Season Awards Packs, and adding Season Awards program players to Collections. These programs do not expire, so players have plenty of time to work through each. Overall, we expect this whole process to take a substantial amount of playtime, but any user should be able to complete it, regardless of skill level.

Bobby Witt Jr. Lightning Player attributes

Witt Jr. excels in all phases of the game. 113 contact against right-handed pitchers and 96 power against left-handed pitchers jump off the page as stunning attributes for a position that doesn’t have too many powerful hitters. Additionally, 99 speed, 97 stealing, and above-average defensive attributes across the board are very appealing. This Lightning Player card has better hitting attributes than 94 overall Season Awards Series Elly De La Cruz, and is arguably the best shortstop in the game other than the obvious choice of 99 overall Jimmy Rollins. I would recommend putting in the time and effort to unlock this player, rather than spending over 140,000 Stubs on a card like De La Cruz.
