By Rylie Smith
9. Kris Bryant
Kris Bryant is an outfielder for the Colorado Rockies. He’s had an eventful career so far in MLB and has gone through a few team changes over the years. He’s outspoken but well-mannered which showed in a statement about the Astros.
"“I definitely think (other teams were cheating). I don’t know if other teams were doing it that same way, but people are always trying to find a way for that competitive advantage, Pitchers have things in their gloves. Batters groove their bats. People have done that since the beginning of the game.” – Kris Bryant, via USA Today"
Bryant made his MLB debut in 2015 with the Chicago Cubs and played a memorable career with them before joining the San Francisco Giants in 2021. During his time with the Cubs, he played in three All-Star Games and hit his first career home run weeks after his MLB debut. Three short years later, he hit his 100th career home run at Wrigley Field.
He’s a powerhouse player with a good perspective on the Astros scandal.
