Have you ever imagined how the Kansas City Royals’ shortstop Bobby Witt Jr would look like when animated? Well, MLB has turned that imagination into reality in their new campaign, “Heroes of the Game.” How does Bobby Witt Jr look in the animated campaign? What on-field moment of the shortstop was captured for this? We have the details here!
Bobby Witt Jr animated for MLB’s new campaignTo make baseball more fun and understandable to the younger generation, MLB started a campaign called “Baseball is something else,” a part of which is a new anime twist called “Heroes of the Game.”

This new anime-based campaign is re-imagining famous MLB players as anime characters showcasing their powers and what it takes to become an MLB player. A latest addition to the anime is Bobby Witt Jr, the start shortstop from Kansas City Royals.


Since Bobby is known for his superhuman speed, the tagline of the animated video is kept as,

“The road to stardom is long and challenging unless you move as fast as him.”
Well, we cannot agree more with the tagline as the shortstop does have incredible speed. Besides, MLB has captured the player making an amazing catch and animated Bobby’s speed with the power of lightning, a fine comparison in our opinion. The video has captured a lot of attention, with fans appreciating the smooth animation techniques used.
Other animated “Heroes of the Game”Apart from Bobby Witt Jr, MLB has also introduced other players in the “Heroes of the Game” campaign. There’s Aaron Judge shown hitting the ball with his incredible strength. The video perfectly captures the essence of Judge’s game, showcasing how fine and accurate of a player he is.


There’s also Paul Skenes, Shohei Ohtani, and Juan Soto who have appeared in the animated campaign. MLB has put in a lot of effort for this campaign.


As per reports, MLB has teamed up with famous anime artists, ones who have worked in anime like One Piece, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Silver Spoon. Famous director, Hiroshi Shimizu, who is known for his series Kemonozume and Michiko & Hatchin, is also joining the team for the campaign.
