More than at any other point in his big league career, Kris Bryant is facing tremendous adversity. Marred by injury, he’s played just 86 games this year. In the 10 games he’s appeared in since returning from his shoulder injury, he’s been far from spectacular.
Because of his time missed he’s posting career-lows in WAR, wRC+, wOBA, slugging percentage, and ISO, home runs and runs batted in.
Fortunately, it’s not because pitchers have figured him out and he’s been able to play more outfield. Though, the Cubs are in desperate need of a power surge from someone besides Javy Baez, Kyle Schwarber and Anthony Rizzo and they aren’t getting it, at least in the last few games.
