If you're a fan of MLB The Show 26, now is the perfect time to focus on one of baseball's brightest young stars: Bobby Witt Jr. The Kansas City Royals shortstop is off to a hot start in the 2026 season, hitting .279 with 3 home runs and 16 RBIs in his first 37 games. A two-time All-Star, two-time Gold Glove, and two-time Silver Slugger winner, Witt Jr. is currently the top-rated Live Series shortstop in the game. To celebrate, the developers have launched the Bobby Witt Jr. Takeover Program, giving players a chance to earn rewards while following his career highlights.

What's the Bobby Witt Jr. Takeover Program?

The Takeover Program lets you complete Missions and Moments themed around Bobby Witt Jr.'s journey from top prospect to MLB superstar.
