When it comes to overall production, Kris Bryant has been one of the best hitters the Cubs have had.
With decisions to come about how much of the Cubs’ core to keep intact, it should be noted Bryant has been their leader in weighted runs created plus. WRC+ is a top-shelf offensive metric that assigns weights to every outcome from home runs to double plays. The results are adjusted to ballparks and normalized to major-league averages so that 100 signifies an average hitter.
Bryant’s 139 career wRC+ means he has been 139 percent as productive as an average hitter.
