Somebody wrote this in the comment section of a BP minor league update today:

 

Was at the Kris Bryant game. He can't throw from third, has nobody noticed this? I feel like it's somewhat reported, but under-reported. He takes forever to setup and the ball just sails. It's possible the ball was a bit wet, but I've noticed his long setup before. His glove looks fine, but his throws take too long for him to get ready and then it seems that once he is setup he rushes through the throw - perhaps because by the time he's ready the runner is nearly at first. Also the SB was not because of his speed (at all), just smart base running.

 

That said, all three of his singles were very solidly struck - bat is ready, obviously. Ball sounds great off his bat. He did whiff on about 4 sliders/cutters low/away during the game. Has a love/hate relationship with that pitch.

 

 

 

Obviously it's based on a small sample size, a game in which he committed two throwing errors. I do hope he can hold down third base at least for this season, because I feel a lot more confident about getting adequate offensive production from Coghlan/Denorfia/Szczur in LF than I do of getting that from some combo of Olt/Mendy/La Stella/Herrera/Baez at 3B.
