It’s hard to find flaws in a guy who was named the near-unanimous NL MVP and who led his team to its first World Series title in over a century, but the one knock on Kris Bryant was that he had become almost exclusively a pull hitter. Exhibit A in this argument was that only one of his 39 home runs was hit to the right of center, with a majority of the remaining (see black dots on chart below) bombs heavily concentrated between the foul pole and the left-center power alley.
