Kris Bryant

Kris Bryant is the kind of guy who makes baseball look almost unfairly easy — a 6'5" slugger out of Las Vegas who walked into the big leagues and immediately looked like he belonged there. He won the 2015 NL Rookie of the Year and then, the very next season, took home the MVP as the Chicago Cubs broke their 108-year World Series drought. That 2016 Cubs run still gives me chills: he started the legendary Game 7 in Cleveland, and it was his throw to first that recorded the final out of a championship a century in the making. He's bounced around since then — San Francisco, Colorado — and injuries have slowed him, but the talent has never been in question. A smooth, instinctive hitter with genuine positional versatility, Bryant is the kind of player you just enjoy watching, hometown Vegas flash and all.
