Bobby Witt Jr. finished as a finalist for American League MVP, which secures the Kansas City Royals an additional draft pick after the first round of the 2025 draft.
The Prospect Promotion Incentive, introduced in the 2022 collective bargaining agreement, aims to prevent teams from keeping top prospects in the minors by rewarding teams based on player success.
Witt's achievement, finishing in the top three for MVP, marks a significant milestone as he becomes the first to earn the PPI through this method in his third season.
The Royals' decision to carry Witt through the entire 2022 season paid off, highlighting the strategic importance of utilizing top prospects in their early service years.
