This is the thread where we talk about how awesome Kris Bryant is

[Brian]

I don't remember the specifics, but I think he posted here and there nothing controversial and then he posted a string of dicky things. I could be wrong though.

[Sammy Sofa]

I'm completely blanking on that; I thought he posted a goodbye message when Gallagher was traded and that was it.

What did Sean Gallaghers Dad do?

 

 

great reference

When I see bryants squeeze I have the same reaction I did when I found out Jon hamm was dating the same chick for like 15 years

[David]

this is pretty much fluff but it's kinda fun

[Gilby]

So Kris Bryant doesn't strike out anymore. That's pretty fun for us and extremely terrifying for everyone else.

 

He could enter May with a sub 20% K rate and is on pace for about 8 wins.

Bryant always looks like he's a little embarrassed and shy about doing stuff the rest of the team does and it makes him all the more adorable :good:

Bryant 7 fWAR in last calendar year

 

good for 5th best in MLB

So if this is Bryant's strikeout% going forward, what are we looking at in terms of ceiling?

Something like those good Troy Glaus years that he's been comped at before hold pretty well still.

i could see that sort of triple slash except in today's run environment =P~ =P~

Right now Bryant has a .395 wOBA. Here's the list of hitters last year with at least a .390 wOBA that were not 1B or corner outfielders:

 

Trout

Donaldson*

 

The list from the year before:

 

Trout*

McCutchen

 

And from 2013:

 

Trout

McCutchen*

Tulo

 

Asterisks represent MVP winners.

[BigSlick]

Honestly Glaus is maybe an underestimation for him average wise, with his strike out numbers down he could put up even more monstrous numbers in an even worse run environment

[Banedon]

Bryant whiffs in 2015 vs 2016.

When does k rate normalize? I know it comes after contact %, which has obviously improved a lot
