Bryant primarily plays as a third baseman and outfielder, offering flexibility in the field. In 2017, he signed a one-year contract with the Cubs worth $652,000, with the full amount guaranteed. As of recent estimates, his net worth exceeds $10 million.

Personal Background and Interests

Growing up in Las Vegas, Bryant developed a close friendship with fellow MLB players Bryce Harper and Joey Gallo, with whom he began playing baseball competitively at the age of nine. In 2015, a memorable moment between Bryant and Harper gained media attention when they shared a playful greeting during a game between the Cubs and the Washington Nationals — an unusual gesture at the Major League level.

Bryant is known for his humility and character off the field. He was named salutatorian of his high school class but offered the honor to a fellow classmate who expressed a strong desire for the recognition. His father, Mike Bryant, played in Minor League Baseball within the Boston Red Sox organization before dedicating his time to coaching Kris, even selling his patio furniture business to focus on his son's development.

Marriage and Public Appearances

In 2017, Kris Bryant married his longtime girlfriend, Jessica Delp. The couple has known each other since they were 16 and both grew up in Las Vegas. One of Bryant’s teammates, Anthony Rizzo, served as a groomsman at their wedding.

Beyond the field, Bryant has had his share of light-hearted moments. In one notable instance, he was pranked by Hall of Famer Greg Maddux during what he believed was a promotional shoot. More details about Kris Bryant’s performance and statistics can be found on his baseball FanGraphs page.
