Scouts might have to attack Kris Bryant differently after the Cubs 2016 MVP blasted a walk-off homer into the teeth of a cold Wrigley Field wind.
Prior to Bryant’s recent stretch of success, pitchers were trying to get him out by throwing up-and-in fastballs with two strikes.
Scouts had a good reason to suggest throwing fastballs in on KB’s hands, too, because the tall slugger was whiffing against these pitches frequently.
But Kris Bryant is Kris Bryant, which means scouts and pitchers will always need to adjust to the intellectual hitter.
