The Cubs are banking on Kris Bryant returning to his MVP form after struggling for most of 2018 because of a shoulder injury. Well, the biggest question coming into 2019 is just how healthy Bryant is. He’s said he’s 100% and Bryant wasted no time showing off his natural swing once again.
He went 2-for-2 on Saturday against the Brewers and in his first spring training at-bat Bryant blasted a home run to left field.

Hard-hit, solid single pulled to left for Kris Bryant as he's taken out for a pinch-runner. I'm not one to care about spring stats at all, but seeing KB pull the ball with authority twice is exactly what people worried about his shoulder need to allay those fears.
