Since 2016, life has certainly changed for Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant. In 2016, Bryant was on fire, blasting 39 home runs and scoring 121 runs for the World Series champion Cubs.
However, the next two seasons were not as kind to Bryant who was plagued by injury, forcing him to re-tool his swing. In 2017, Bryant batted 549 times as opposed to the 603 in 2016. Things were certainly spiraling downward for the treasured third baseman. When he finally got back to the lineup in 2018 he put up only 13 home runs in 389 trips to bat and his run production fell to just 59 – as, once again, he played at less than 100 percent.
