As much as I hate coming off like a hot-take artist, I have to admit that I’m beginning to think Kris Bryant is going to be pretty good. I know, I know, that’s really premature and is based on nothing more than the Golden Spikes award as collegiate baseball’s player, which was followed by his Rookie of the Year win in 2015 and then his 2016 NL MVP. Can we really base conclusions on those things, though?
Well, yeah, of course we can.
But the thing is, I don’t even pay attention to the trophies when I look at what makes Bryant so great.
