re: Chicago Cubs Super Prospect Futureboner Sploosh Emporium Thread | Maddon Thread

Why are you guys saying Bryant won't be a .300 hitter? I'm not saying he will, but have you seen his spray chart? His pro BABiP is .408. That's in 675 ABs. He's hit .335/.434/.684/1.118 as a pro. He's hit 56 2B and 58 HR as a pro. He's got effortless double and HR power to all fields. Here's the only downside, he's struck out 212 times but he's also walked 109 times. His strike outs are due in large part to his ability to work deep counts. And, if he OPS's over 1.000, who gives a shite if he K's?

I think Bryant will sit around .280-.290 for his career and have a career year once or twice where he hits .315 or so.
