Bobby Witt Jr. received approximately $3.08MM from the MLB pre-arbitration bonus pool for his outstanding performance, leading the rankings among eligible players this season.
The collective bargaining agreement created a $50MM pre-arbitration bonus pool to help young, high-performing players like Bobby Witt get compensated earlier in their careers.
Despite signing a lucrative contract, players like Witt still benefit from the bonus pool as it rewards their performance, reflecting a shift in MLB's compensation structure.
Players are awarded bonuses based on accolades, with the highest pay for MVP or Cy Young awards; they cannot receive multiple bonuses for different honors.
