Kris Bryant News
Colorado Rockies third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant (foot) said over the weekend that he will head into spring training fully healthy and without restrictions. Bryant only managed to play in 42 games in his first year with the Rockies due to multiple injuries, mainly plantar fasciitis in his foot. It's good news that he's healthy already, but fantasy managers will be wary that the 31-year-old slugger can continue to stay healthy as he heads into the latter portion of his career. When the four-time All-Star was healthy in 2022, though, he hit a strong .306/.376/.475 with an .851 OPS, five home runs, 14 RBI and 28 runs scored in 181 plate appearances. Bryant's power was down, but he's a prime bounce-back candidate in the best hitting environment in baseball in 2023 and will have eligibility at third base and the outfield.
The Colorado Rockies are optimistic that third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant (foot) will be ready for spring training after he was limited to 42 games in 2022 due to plantar fasciitis. "Our trainers and strength guys have checked in with him and from everything I'm being told he looks good. We are optimistic about him showing up (healthy) at spring training," general manager Bill Schmidt said. When Bryant was on the field in his first year in Colorado, he hit well, slashing .306/.376/.475 with five home runs in 181 plate appearances. The 30-year-old is no longer in his prime, but he resides in the best hitting environment in baseball and could easily bounce back as a value pick in fantasy drafts if he's able to stay healthy in 2023. We'll be monitoring his status closely as spring training nears.
The Colorado Rockies are optimistic that third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant (foot) will arrive at spring training next year healthy after he was limited to 42 games in 2022 due to injuries. "Our trainers and strength guys have checked in with him and from everything I'm being told he looks good. We are optimistic about him showing up (healthy) at spring training," general manager Bill Schmidt said. Bryant dealt with plantar fasciitis for much of the year after inking a seven-year, $182 million deal with the organization last March. But when he was on the field, he hit a strong .306/.376/.475 with five home runs in 181 plate appearances, giving the Rockies and fantasy managers hope that there's still plenty of juice left. Time will tell if he can stay healthy in 2023, but if he can, he could be a bargain in fantasy drafts.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant suffered multiple injuries and played just 42 games in 2022. But when healthy, he contributed a .306/.376/.475 slash line with five home runs, 28 runs, and 14 RBI. Bryant found some luck, as expected in Colorado, with a .338 BABIP, but was right around his .335 career BABIP, and he still posted a .279 xBA and .426 xSLG. The 31-year-old didn't hit the ball very hard with an 85 MPH average exit velocity but managed a career-low 14.9% strikeout rate thanks to a 21.5% whiff rate and 24.2% chase rate. And Bryant has produced softer contact for most of his career. Since 2017, his average exit velocities have never been better than the 30th percentile. Bryant's 6.7% barrel percentage was disappointing but still around league average, and as a Rockie, his HR/FB rate won't remain below 10%. The former Rookie of the Year isn't the same hitter as he was when he won MVP in 2016, but he has evolved his game and will still be productive in batting average and power. Bryant's sprint speed was significantly worse this year and led to a goose egg in the stolen base department. However, he did deal with plantar fasciitis and should have a handful of steals next season. Bryant will contribute a little bit of everything in 2023 and bat in the heart of a competent lineup while providing at least 80 runs and RBI across a full season. There might be durability concerns, but the eight-year veteran played an entire 2021 campaign and heads into 2023 healthy. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable drafting Bryant at his 129 ADP, the 31st outfielder off the board.
