CINCINNATI — Kris Bryant may not have a home run yet, but he has been bringing something just as valuable to the Cubs lineup — patience.
In his first nine big-league games, Bryant is hitting .379, but it's his .526 on-base percentage that really stands out, with a stellar walk-to-strikeout ratio of 8:8.
"[Opposing pitchers] are going after him pretty hard right now," Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. "To his credit, he's not just swinging at everything. He's taking his walks. If he continues to do that, he's going to continue to hit at a high pace.
