He repeated those honors in 2025 and additionally won the American League Platinum Glove Award. Internationally, Witt represents the United States. Witt is the first shortstop in MLB history to have achieved two 30-30 seasons (30 home runs and 30 stolen bases), having done so in 2023 and 2024; Francisco Lindor has since matched this feat, with 30–30 seasons in 2023 and 2025.
