Not to mention Kauffman is not a park that's nice to hitters and he plays for a garbage team.
THIS is the real problem with the card industry. We write guys off so quickly. When Ohtani got hurt. He looked like a bust now his damn generic psa 10s are going for a g or more.
Same thing with Tatis. Popped for the peds and injuries. Now he's back like he never left. Acuna is gonna be the NL MVP and his cards dipped way down after his injury.
These guys are all young and haven't even hit their prime. And a guy has a blip on the radar. And down goes his value.
I'm trusting Witt long term. Especially when he's proven he's a star and gets traded or reaches free agency. Watch the boom.

You know who else hit 20+ homeruns on a trash team his 2nd year in the majors?
Ryan McMahon.
Yes, Witt is still young and can improve. I imagine he will. But you are basically stating he is going to be a guaranteed top tier player, and I completely disagree.
That does not mean he's trash, but instead of being a lock for top voting SS in the All Star game/top 10 MVP vote getter, he will be an occasional all star and put up respectable seasons. And he is currently being priced like he is an All Star, MVP vote getter and he is neither one of those things.
