There are good baseball stories and then there are GREAT baseball stories.
I’d like to think the story you’re about to hear falls into the latter but I’ll let you be the judge of that.
I got a chance to sit down and talk with one of Kris Bryant’s high school coaches, Kevin Fiddler, to gain some insight on the reigning National League MVP’s career before he got to Chicago. I’ve already written pretty extensively about Bryant’s high school career so when I was talking to Coach Fiddler, I was hoping to hear something other than stats that would exemplify just how special of a player Bryant is.
I heard a few good stories about Bryant crushing balls during BP, his only game as a starting pitcher, and some friendly wagers with his father but I was looking for something just a bit better.

Then Coach Fiddler sent me the following picture and said, “Oh I almost forgot about this.”
What you see is a picture of a bat that Bryant destroyed during his senior year of high school and the story is just as awesome as you think…
