Post Season Bae of the Day: Kris Bryant

In my last post we talked about October being my favorite month for shows but most of all because of POST-SEASON BASEBALL.

DUH.

So naturally we have to round up our Baseball Bae series by doing some of our favorite post season hunks. Since my Angels lost the wildcard by a mile, I decided to root for the underdogs aka the Chicago Cubs.

SINCE THE CUBS HAVE NEVER MADE IT TO THE WORLD SERIES AND IT'S A MIRACLE THEY ARE EVEN IN THE POST SEASON. But that's beside the point.

Our featured Post Season Bae is Cubs third baseman, Kris Bryant.

Kris is 23 years old and his birthday is January 4th and mine is January 3rd, so like Capricorns unite?! Idk, your just hot Kris. Lol.

He attended the University of San Diego, where he played college baseball for the San Diego Toreros baseball team. Bryant won the Dick Howser Trophy and Golden Spikes Award as the best amateur baseball player in 2013.

The Cubs selected him with the second pick in the 2013 Major League Baseball Draft. Prior to the 2015 season, he was ranked as the number one prospect in baseball by Baseball America. Isn't it crazy how some people like literally get it all? Looks and athletic ability.... like cool.

Bryant was considered to be one of the best available players in the 2013 Major League Baseball Draft and was scouted by the Houston Astros, who had the first overall pick.

After the Astros selected Mark Appel with the first overall selection, the Chicago Cubs chose Bryant with the second overall selection. Bryant agreed to a $6.7 million signing bonus with the Cubs two days prior to the signing deadline.

Bryant began his professional career with the Boise Hawks of the Class A-Short Season Northwest League batting .354 with 4 home runs. In June he won the 2013 Southern League Home Run Derby and participated in the All-Star game.

On June 18, 2014, Bryant was promoted to the Triple-A Iowa Cubs after batting .355 with 22 home runs and 58 RBI in 68 games with Tennessee. Bryant was named the USA Today Minor League Player of the Year and Baseball America Minor League Player of the Year and also won the Joe Bauman Home Run Award - Baseball America named him the # 1 prospect in 2015.

On September 6, Bryant hit the longest home run of the 2015 MLB season. In the bottom of the 5th inning against Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Rubby De La Rosa, he hit a 495-foot solo homer that hit the upper portion of the new left-field Wrigley Field Jumbotron video-board. With the homer, Bryant tied Hall of Famer Billy Williams (1961) and Geovany Soto (2008), for the Cubs' franchise single-season RBI record for rookies with 86.

On September 11, he established the record by driving in a run with a double.

On September 22, Bryant passed Williams for the most home runs by a Cubs rookie, with 26.

Here's some cute personal stuff about this hottie...

1. Bryant was named his high school's salutatorian, but allowed a classmate to take the role instead when he found out how badly she wanted it. AWWWW!

2. In college, he majored in biology before switching to finance.

3. His father, Mike, played in minor league baseball for the Boston Red Sox organization.

4. His nickname is "Silk." This was given to him by Bryce Harper, when they played against each other in Las Vegas at age 9.

He finished the year with 26 HR's and 99 RBI's. According to sales on Major League Baseball's official website, Bryant had the best-selling jersey in all of baseball during the regular season.

YEAH, LIKE A BOSS.
