Patrick Mahomes hails Bobby Witt Jr. for incredible season that saw him secure the first 30/30 season in Royals history: "Congrats my man!!!"

Bobby Witt Jr.'s breakthrough season has been one for the ages despite his team's overall struggles. The rookie shortstop reached an impressive milestone on Friday night, securing the first 30/30 season ever in Royals history.

While fans and pundits alike were quick to jump on the congratulatory bandwagon, there was one person in particular with a special wish.

Yes, it was none other than fellow Texan and another Kansas City Chiefs athlete, Patrick Mahomes Jr. Mahomes congratulated Witt for his incredible season, dropping him a "Congrats my man!!!" on his personal X (formerly Twitter) account.

Mahomes, who also owns a stake in the Royals, must have been equally proud of Witt's achievement considering his age and relative inexperience in the majors.

With his stoic performance against the New York Yankees on Friday night which the Royal won 12-5, Witt reached 30 home runs, to go along with his previous 49 stolen bases and 10 triples for the season. Witt also produced 30 homers, 45 stolen bases and 10 triples in the same season, becoming the first player in MLB history to do so.

With just two games left in the season for the Kansas City Royals, Witt will look to end this rather subdued season with a bang.
