Did you know that Kris Bryant is very, very good?
Of course you did.
And he’s showing it off again tonight through three at bats in Cincinnati. After kicking off the scoring in the first with this RBI double down the line, he sent a 410-foot shot out to left. You can watch and enjoy it here.
But he wasn’t done (heck, he’s still not done, because the game’s barely half over). In the 4th, he blasted this upper deck shot with two on:
That's TWO homers for Kris Bryant tonight.

UPDATE: And in at bat number four, Bryant doubled. Naturally. That’s 12 total bases already tonight. Ridiculous.
UPDATE 2: AND THEN HE HOMERED AGAIN! KRIS BRYANT IS BLOWING MY MIND!
