Kris Bryant Hits First Home Run Of 2024
8 months agoColorado Rockies first baseman Kris Bryant hit his first home run of the season on Friday in a wild 10-7 win over the Rays. It was Bryant's only hit of the night, going 1-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored. The 32-year-old is off to a slow start, with the home run being just his third hit of the season. He's now 3-for-25 (.120) with three RBI and three runs scored. The alarming part is that he's not making much contact (62.3% Contact%) and chasing pitches (41.1% O-Swing%), resulting in 12 strikeouts so far (40.0%). The former MVP has been unable to stay healthy during his time in Colorado, so hopefully he can turn it around while he's upright. Managers who took him as a late flier though may not have the luxury or patience to squander a roster spot on the veteran.
