Not only was Maggie Witt the wife of Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr., but she also marked a personal and professional milestone when she took the field at Kauffman Stadium on Thursday night with assurance and purpose.
She threw out the ceremonial first pitch to her husband in front of hundreds of people, ending a week of celebrations marking the official launch of her first women’s sportswear brand, the MW brand by Fit Brit.
The pitch itself, a strong throw with obvious softball origins, concluded with Maggie and Bobby sharing a tender embrace at home plate. This moment struck a chord with spectators and highlighted the couple’s closeness.
Maggie, a fitness influencer and personal trainer, recently collaborated with Fit Brit, a luxury athleisure brand based in Kansas City, to develop a performance-focused, fashion-forward collection that empowers women. Because of her success as a businesswoman and her reputation as a well-known Royals WAG, the event felt more than formal; rather, it was a celebration of local ingenuity, drive, and collaboration.
Royals Looking To Get Back On Track
In the early going of the 2025 season, Bobby Witt Jr. and the Royals are trying to establish their groove, while Maggie was relishing her turn in the spotlight.
Kansas City is still attempting to get momentum following a wild April, sitting at 12-14 following Thursday’s game against the Colorado Rockies. Although the club has had moments of brilliance, they have struggled to stay consistent, particularly late in games and on the field.
But Witt Jr. remains a great player. The 24-year-old shortstop remains the cornerstone of the Royals’ resurgence, leading the team in key offensive statistics, including hits and average. Fans are hopeful that Bobby’s growth as a leader, both on and off the field, will help the team make a return to the playoffs soon.
Thursday night’s game was full of pride and emotion, offering a refreshing reminder of the team’s growing identity and connection with the Kansas City community. The Witt family is becoming a notable pair to watch; Bobby is continuing to make a name for himself in the league, and Maggie is succeeding in the fitness and fashion worlds. This makes them an exciting duo, not just in Kansas City but also beyond.
