SAN DIEGO -- Everybody likes sitting behind home plate. It's the center-field camera that delivers most of the shots of a pitcher facing a batter.
But to fully appreciate Kris Bryant, you want a seat behind the first-base dugout. It's the side view that gives you the three-dimensional look at how this second-year Cub has developed into the best power hitter in baseball.
Bryant stands 6-foot-5 and takes an exaggeratedly wide stance in the right-handed batter's box, his left foot about four feet away from his right foot.
As a local reference, think of the USS Midway, anchored in the Pacific Ocean, near the San Diego airport.
