Chicago Cubs third base phenom Kris Bryant flexed his muscle again on Tuesday and belted his ninth home run of spring training.
The Las Vegas native and last year’s Minor League Player of the Year, started the day hitting .480. Bryant connected Tuesday off Oakland Athletics left-hander Drew Pomeranz.
Despite being the home run leader this spring, Bryant most likely will begin the season at Triple-A. If Bryant starts the season in the minors, the Cubs will be able to delay a potential free-agency bid by the 23-year-old for an entire extra season.
