If fact, Bryant’s Tennessee campaign is just one of two (soon to be three) cases this summer in which a Cubs prospect hit at least twenty home runs at a given level: Javier Baez (AAA) with twenty three, and Bryant (AA) with twenty two. Very soon we will be able to add Bryant (AAA) to that list. His home run last night was his nineteenth for Iowa.
