We already know what happens when Kris Bryant looks like one of the very best hitters in baseball. We know because we saw it.
And maybe, just maybe, we're starting to see it again.
Bryant was the National League's Most Valuable Player in 2016. The Cubs won a historic World Series title.
Now Bryant has six home runs in his last 12 games. He's been on base 25 times in those dozen outings. And the Cubs? Their 4-1 Thursday win over the Miami Marlins was their 10th in their last 11 games, pushing them into first place in the NL Central ahead of this weekend's series with the Milwaukee Brewers.
