Chicago’s Kris Bryant is quickly adjusting to life in the big leagues. That much is for sure.
The Cubs 23-year-old third baseman phenomenon—who was held back in Triple-A to start the year despite hitting 43 home runs in the minors last season—had a hit in two at-bats Sunday to run his hitting streak to seven games.
Overall in 2015, Bryant is hitting .291/.426/.476 (average/on-base/slugging)—good marks for sure and a great sign of the future for a team that hasn’t won the World Series in more than a hundred years.
Bryant has been especially hot of late. Over the past nine games the former second overall pick of the 2013 MLB draft has hit four home runs with an incredible line of .323/.447/.806.
