The real Kris Bryant is back in the saddle

The Chicago Cubs continue to stagnate in the standings, but good news for fans of the team as the real Kris Bryant is back at a high level of competition.

The one that many sent under different skies and who has been annoyed by a number of injuries since a dazzling start to his career has once again become a productive and spectacular player.

Now playing in the outfield, Bryant no longer provides negative arguments to his detractors, even if his team ranks last in the Central section of the National.

Yesterday, against the Reds, he hit his seventh home run of this campaign in a losing cause.

Even more impressive, Bryant is one of five National players to have an average trail presence and power above 1,000 so far this season. The others are Ronald Acuna Jr. (Braves), Jesse Winker (Reds), Bryce Harper (Phillies) and Justin Turner (Dodgers).

In this regard, Mike Trout of the Angels leads the Majors with an average of 1,304.

Since the start of the 2021 season, the Cubs number 17 is batting .322, hitting seven long balls, in addition to producing 19 points.

Recall that he won the title of Rookie of the year in 2015 while continuing with the title of Player par excellence in the National the following year.

To underline Bryant’s strong performance this season, the 29-year-old is third in the Majors for more than one goal hits with 15. He has 28 hits.

Yesterday, the Cubs (11-15) lowered their flag to the Cincinnati Reds by a score of 8-6. They are 4-6 in their last ten games. Bryant had two hits in three batting appearances and had two walks.

The Marlins lead, but are last

Unusual fact: all the teams working in the East division of the National, except one (Marlins), show a negative point differential.

The Phillies (-15), Braves (-10), Nationals (-21) and Mets (-14) have all allowed more points than they scored and are ahead of all the Marlins in the standings. The latter are the only ones to show a positive result in this chapter with a differential of +14, but still occupy the last rank of the division.

It must be said that the leaders are just playing for a .500 record.
