This is the 2022 Topps Update Series Bobby Witt Jr. Rookie Debut Short Print (SP) Variation.

It features the RC logo in the top left and the 'Rookie Debut: 4/7/2022' text above the nameplate.
Key Features
Image variation short print; Bobby Witt Jr. is a core chase player in the hobby; featuring his Rookie Debut date; significantly rarer than the base card.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic Topps gloss and card stock; correct code on back ending in 061 (standard for 2022 SP variations). Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
The photo shows slightly heavy top-to-bottom centering (top border is thicker). Potential for minor micro-chipping on the blue back borders which is common for this year.
Selling Guide

Selling Tips
Use 'SSP' or 'SP Variation' in the title to differentiate it from the common base version. To maximize value, consider PSA grading if the back corners are flawless, as the price jump to a Gem Mint 10 is significant for this specific card.
