When the Chicago Cubs‘ Kris Bryant struggled last season, some started reading too much into it. First off, Bryant is not done. Pitchers haven’t “caught up to him.” He spent most of the year injured, and it became clear he wasn’t going to be able to play through it. So Bryant spent more time on the disabled list last season than in his entire career. If Bryant can come back healthy, and with a swing that wasn’t modified to protect him from pain–the Cubs offense should thrive again in 2019.
Spring Training is just over the horizon, and baseball fans have been ready for quite some time.
