I’m not even a royals fan but there’s something about Witt that I absolutely love. He is becoming one of my favourite players.
I’ve always valued power/speed guys above all other players. I can’t wait to watch Witt and Rodriguez during their careers.
*Acuna
Have em both plus Corbin Carrol on my dynasty team categories league too
@@johnchiavaroli4429yeah you winning every year
this guy is better than any MLB YT out there
Cap
Behind foolish
Easily! better than that curly haired fool for sure
@@thegreekweezel and the JM duo themselves. I also love Baseball Doesn't Exist. That one has some really fun videos, even if I don't always agree with his takes.
love them all made the cut is good too secret base@@wwpjd28
This was probably the best breakdown you’ve ever done, it’s clear you did a lot of research on stats people might not be familiar with, but you explained so well it didn’t matter. You were funny but you weren’t overdoing it or trying to make a joke every 5 seconds like other UA-camrs. It’s been great watching your content improve, keep it up!
I laugh everyday at the fact that Bobby stole my spot on our high school team. It’s good seeing him do so well either way. He’s a great ball player and a great person
Stole your spot? I think he is good enough to not steal anyone’s spot
Yo, you went Colleyville too? Lmao
Witt, J-Rod and Harris have all shown some tremendous ability to adjust
Jolly you dawg, what a solid Royals video. Super picky when Royals content gets talked about, but really what media company pays attention to the Royals and actually knows what goes on here in KC, it ain't worth the air time, right now. Solid my guy and some notes of what I appreciated are below.
A) I love the Julio/Bobby connections. Personally, I like Julio a lot even being a Royals fan. I played OF growing up, Gordo was my guy, so Julio also playing the OF just works for me. It’s almost like George Brett and Mike Schmidt. Yeah, they both played the exact same position, but both were compared to each other a lot, so it will be neat to have Julio and Bobby ball out at elite levels their entire careers together.
B) You said it well, pay the kid! Owner John Sherman wants the city to shell out $1 billion to help pay for the $2 billion stadium he wants, locking Bobby up to a Julio type deal could help get the people here on board (slightly) with this new stadium.
C) 9:54 George Brett "arguably" the Royals best player in franchise history, ugh who else is in consideration haha? Do you count any player who spent part of the career with the club and then for any reason moved on? Yeah, Bret Saberhagen with 8 seasons and wicked stuff was good, or first time around Greinke with 7 was very good, and Beltran like you said, but George spending his entire career in Royals blue definitely edges out anyone and makes him their best ever player; which yeah is sad because they can't keep guys around, but it's rare to have anyone spend their entire career with a single team anymore so I can hear arguments from that side. If Sherman inks Bobby and he plays his entire career in Royals blue, he only has to see what the org did for Brett regarding statues, and keeping him in the light all this time, Bobby will have that and more.
C.1) George Brett and his eight grown kids lol! Way before my time, but hey they got it done.
D) 2022 Bobby was very scary, as in holy crap I can't believe KC messed up this kid who was supposed to be Mantle or Griffey, whatever noise was being said. 2023 Bobby has been a helluva turn around; but yeah, the whole contract thing.
D.1) I don't think anyone as talented as these MLB guys struggle as much as Bobby did just by bouncing to 3B and SS. Again, KC is my team and I suffer through a lot of crap these days. I would say Bobby, in his first year at the MAJOR LEAGUES, he was rushing everything. They were forced errors, hurried throws, getting his timing down etc. Put him at 3B this season and he will be just as good as his play at SS this 2023 season. In 2023 he has the year under his belt and experience so he is able to relax and do what he can naturally.
E) Anyone can slice up stats every which way. Earlier in 2023 Bobby was the first player in his "first two seasons" to have a 20 HR/20 SB in back-to-back seasons; Yeah Trout, minus his 2011 40 games did this in two full seasons, but that is the silly caveat. But then Julio was the first to 25 HR/25 SB in his "first two seasons". Well, Bobby could be the first ever player, in any two seasons (from what I could find), to have a 20 HR/20 SB season and then follow it up with a 30 HR/30 SB season the very next year. Juilo didn't have 30 SB in 2022 so he can't reach that mark. Bobby still needs 2 HR at the time of typing this. And that Mike Trout guy, he actually did this in reverse lol 2012 reaching 30 HR/30 SB and then in 2013 20 HR/20 SB.
E.1) If Bobby gets his 2 HR to notched 30 for 2023, he will be the first Royals player to have a 30/30 season...yep. George Brett wasn't a runner, and only had 30 HR once, in 1985 when he lead his eight sons to the World Series haha. Carlos Beltran came 1 HR short in 2002. Most guys who do steal, probably aren't HR guys who hit enough of them to land 30 HR; plus in Kauffman you gotta get all of it, and that doesn't help this odd fact.
F) The 2014/15 Royals didn't need a dawg to lead the team. Every night it was a, "who's driving the bus tonight?". They all picked each other up and would take their turns "keep[ing] the line moving"! You just don't know how special those teams were for me. Born in 1991 I've never seen the Royals good let alone competent. I'll always hate SF and Bumgardner for ruining 2014 for me. The 2014 Wild Card game was the best game I've ever been to in person. My guy Alex Gordon had some insane late inning home runs that just fire me up every time I think of them. KC's three headed bullpen's changed the game. Their late inning defensive replacements actually literally made their defense a lock down no fly zone, "that's what speed do".
Not a part of the video, but I've been saying since 2018 when KC did their all pitchers draft sort of thing, KC will win the World Series in 2025. I did a series of "Jimmylitics" type of thing and landed on 2024 but settled on 2025 because it would be neat to win again ten years apart. Looks bleak haha, but like rebellions, a KC Royals baseball season is built on hope.
Fucking well said my guy!!! We HAVE to ink this kid to a long term deal it will break my Royal heart if they don’t try with all their powers to keep this guy a Royal forever. I was born in 94 so a couple years younger but my grandma was a season ticket holder and we went lots of games it killed me as a kid to see dye damon and Beltran leave now I’m a season ticket holder and i see a core in Cole Ragens, Bobby, Garcia,vinnie and possibly Mj if he can improve the defense and strikeout numbers. But to lose those guys without making a run would scream 1999-2004 royals.
@@warturtle94 Thank you! Yeah, I mean it will be tough. Sherman want's the team to be like CLE where he came from, and they don't really lock guys up. They did with JRam but Lindor left, Kluber, Keuchel, Bauer, Clevenger, probably Beiber. Yeah, I want all of Vinnie, but I think he is a dude who wants to win more than KC can sustain it, so he will walk. MJ needs to step it up. I've watched many games from behind LF and my goodness he is bad out there, not his position, but hit way better and maybe we can shrug it off. Garcia could be one becuase he isn't so flashy and good. Personally idk what Bobby will think. He can go get the money, but will a legacy mean more, KC needs to win quick to convince him.
warturtle because a Pokemon fan?
We should go to a game if you want to.
Glad to see a video on Bobby Witt Jr. He's become one of my favorite players.
1. I love that Ezequiel Tovar gets mentioned in this video. More people need to be speaking about Ezequiel Tovar.
2. I feel Jolly has been working on his Wordsmith-ism. His vocal flow in this video is better than I've ever seen.
I only knew much about Tovar because of his MLB the Show card this year, and I just could not get out with his swing, despite no big time power. And his speed and defense are electric. Made me a fan and one of the few bright spots for the Rockies.
Little did we know us royals fans would finally get a big time extension for Bobby
As a New Jersey viewer I did appreciate that lol. I also tooned in for the royals vs mariners series during Julio’s crazy streak and honestly just came out more impressed with Witt. Shame he’s going to miss out on all the SS accolades in the AL because Cory Seagers been so insane
I’m glad you’re giving him the flowers he deserves this season. He’s been an absolute stud but not a lot of people are aware because the royals suck.
My Saturday ritual has become me going to Chipotle and watching the new Jolly Olive video while I eat.
Ben Zobrist brings rings to your city, respect on him
This guy is a fun watch and just yet another example of why I hate impatient fans. A lot of guys struggle in their rookie or even second year in the show and need some time to adapt and adjust.
Yes! Taylor Ham egg & cheese on a hard roll with salt, pepper and ketchup!
so youre telling us this could be the next harper vs trout comparison 😏
Great video. I hope you’re working on a Gunnar Henderson one
IT'S PORK ROLL JOLLY GOD DAMMIT
I had one and it was just super salty. Is that typical?
@@EthanRKassel I mean it's the stuff that's too inedible to be used for sausage, ground up, loaded with preservatives (and spices), and cooked. Can't get more processed and the general rule is the more processed, the saltier (think fast food)
A lot of these guys are going to be huge household names for mlb fans within a few years. Honestly I'd say some of them already are, even with people that don't pay close attention to mlb like that.
Also gotta say it, lookin slick for the camera lol.
This was a great video about Juli- I mean Bobby Witt Jr.
Another great video.
You should do a video on the disappointment of Vladdy Jr
Great video, it's been fun watching BWJ grow. I've watched a lot of bad kc royals games, I hope they sign him long term. They should do the same with Maikel Garcia (check him out, he's gonna be dropping jaws in 2024).
Home run video analysis of the new George Brett for the 21st century with that laughing lion, El Guapo, Bas Rutten, UFC championship vibe. KC can now play with elite level class and bushido baseball skill.
New US subscriber and KC Royals fan
It ain’t Taylor Ham it’s pork roll
Finally? It's his 2nd season.
I think he meant finally as in like it’s been highly anticipated
@@michaelkoch9421 That's fair.
Great video. I think Witt Jr is one of the most interesting players in baseball right now. Unfortunately you called it Taylor ham so this video is invalid
The Royals theoretically could’ve had a lineup with
Jermaine Dye
Carlos Beltran
Raul Ibanez
Johnny Damon
Mike Sweeney
This ending is so much more poignant now that Witt has that extension. Good on the royals for finally locking up one of their superstars (he’s having a hot start to 2024 too)
Hell of an analysis
1 year from now Jolly Olive better do a similar vid on my boy Jasson Dominguez
Edit: Anthony Volpe also has notched a 20/20 rookie season this year
20/20 is a great accomplishment for a rookie, but the counting stats definitely mask the very bad numbers he’s putting up everywhere else. 20/20 is a good start if he can clean up the rest of his game though
NJ loves you too Jolly
Don't the Rays look like geniuses for securing Wan... oh.
Something that doesn't get mention a lot is if it wasn't for covid Bobby Witts rookie year would have been in 2021
Been waiting for Witt Jr. He’d been underwhelming compared to some of the other young stars up to this point. Namely, Adley, J-Rod, and Corbin Carroll.
10 months later, ide say that was a good call.
You got it wrong I think, wander francos OAA is 14 6:46
How do you not way should've been MVP for Trout in 2012 after doing it for ARod? 2 of my absolute favorite players of all time and quite possibly the 2 most talented American players of all time (so we don't have the Shohei stans complaining). The fact that Witt's skill set realistically draws parallels to those 2 is just insane. Obviously, any team would love to have him, but I hope for KC's sake that they find a way to keep him. A lot harder to sign team-friendly steal contracts for players that are American, high draft picks with big bonuses, and especially those that are already wealthy (like Witt and Holliday that are 2nd generation players with parents that made $10s of millions).
It is honestly pretty crazy that Witt already looks like a pretty likely lock at 2nd best player in the franchise's history if they can keep him there his whole career.
I got to say, it will not be as easy to get Witt to sign an extension as it was for those other guys. His family already is worth $10s of millions. He is far more likely to seek market value than those other guys. It just remains to be seen if Royals will actually pay near market value for a superstar. I hope so, but I'm just not sure.
His speed is crazy. 4.12 home to first which is the fastest time amongst righties. 30.4 feet per second sprint speed. 124 bolts on 220 competitive runs, he has 8 less runs than Corbin Carroll but 21 more bolts. If you turn it into a percentage he bolts 56.36% of the time, Elly does it 51.08% of the time.
Oh yeah and he would have had the fastest inside the park HR in the statcast era if he didn’t slow up at first. Just unreal.
Maybe I'm behind the times but what are bolts?
love me some bobby witt
Jolly, you mean pork roll, egg, and cheese?
If we learned anything about this it’s that, Julio Rodriguez is good at baseball. 😂 Bobby Witt gives me Cal Ripken vibes like both JR’s & I could see Bobby playing every day for a decade or more & just being that guy forever on KC.
Anyone else notice on the OAA Lindor and Franco were tied but he didn’t mention Franco?😅
It's funny all the comps between Witt and J-Rod because Julio has a legitimate chance at 30-40, too.
Gunnar Henderson was a pretty glaring omission
Sherman is too cheap to pay Bobby. He to focused on getting a new stadium. He doesnt care qbout the product on the field.he just wants his precious new stadium.
As he says "no more j-rod" I get a notification of him hitting a solo homer... Wow
As a humble royals fan I think you sir jolly olive 🫒
Coming back at watching this oh yeah he’s right
Man just got a 211 million dollar contract
As a royals fan there's 0 chance Bobby signs with the royals complete dumpster fire of an organization he's out after 6 years and will get the biggest contract in mlb history
I feel like he needs to up his OBP before he gets in the mvp conversation
he’s not in the mvp conversation, no other player besides Shohei is.
The fact that he said taylor ham and not pork roll really tickled my pickle
don't the rays look genius for extend... you know what nvm
Witt is on HoF pace and his ability to make contact and play defense makes me think its an actual end possibility. If could start one player for a new franchise I'd take Witt over Judge or Shohei.
Bro didn’t risk mentioning Franco 💀💀💀💀💀💀
May 7th, 2024 he now has 54 home runs
And O'neil and Elly
All we want in KC is for the Royals to extend this man
@jollyolive it’s called a pork roll
Idk about finally, it’s his second season. If it was his like fourth or fifth it would say finally
Who tf is Steven Kwan?? 3:01
When talking about his bettered discipline all of those out he’s we’re strikes that we’re called balls 😂
J-Rod video disguised as a Bobby Witt jr video

Bibby Wott
i think bobby would be an mvp contender if the royals were competitive but not the winner because ohtani
You could taste this coming after last year
As a high draft pick, Witt probably got a large enough signing bonus that he can afford to wait for a better contract.
Do a Corbin Carroll video
As Royals fan I’m praying that awful owner John Sherman finally opens up the checkbook for Bobby Witt Jr
Why would he want to stay with the KC Clown show?
The pitches that were shown in relation to the part about how Witt Jr chases less... they were all strikes? 5:38 looked pretty good (maybe not from where the ump decided to set up). I'm confused Olive.
It’s Pork Roll
for the love of god it’s pork roll
Like Jolly said, pay the man.
Davis Schneider for the Blue Jays is having the best 23 games ar rookie has ever had in the history of time! He's obviously going to be the next best player of all time. Bobby, witt junior wishes he was as good as him. (*sarcasm*)
Pork roll jolly
I had to comment even tho I'm a minute into the video, but it's pork roll
only problem is he doesnt walk
Carroll gonna finish top 5 mvp this year and you say Whitt has a higher ceiling chill
Witt wasn't in the Rutschman draft.
Me when im wrong
Taylor Ham forever
IF the Royals pay him I'll be shocked. Its a shame really.
Best young player in the league
Gunnar better
@@yahcrack you’re on drugs dude. Bobby has better sprint speed, a better hard hit rate, better fielding metrics as far as runs saved and WAR.
He's gonna hate playing for KC.
Joe Biden’s favorite cricket player!!! #BibbyWott
Taylor ham? I support it and refuse to read the rest of the package
coke ragans vid
"Finally" it's year 2 lol

The Royals, are a train wreck of a team with a crap minor-league system. That’s not a good combination the Royals will not be good for long time they should taking offers for BWJ to get a few big prospects to read further minor-league system
another w pin?
The crazy thing is that they kept him in the minor leagues for WAY too long
I know you pointed it out, but I've been predicting BWJ to Atlanta for about a year now. The Royals are a bad team run poorly, and once BWJ makes his way to final arb/FA in around 3 years, the Royals will cut bait cause they won't pay him, exactly like the A's have been these last 2 years. The Braves are the best team in baseball both in general, and without a lock on their "franchise SS". Even though Arcia has been great, his contract expires in 3 years, perfectly timed for BWJ in Atlanta for a handful of prospects and then signed for 10 years to keep the dynasty alive.
Dynasty? lol
great SS don't DH bra. Tell Bobby to stop DHing.
TAYLOR HAM GANG
Jolly. Are you a SURE? These videos tend to age extremely poorly. You haven’t gotten one correct yet. I now feel bad for Bobby. It’s like the Madden curse only it’s the Jolly curse
Dudes gonna be a machine too bad the Royals until Mahomes buys ownership of them, is going to waste his career like they did with Carlos Beltran and Zack Grienke.
Adley Rutschman will win an MVP before Witt.
No
