I had always had the impression, without looking up the numbers, that Kris Bryant had always hit well in Great American Ball Park.
In general terms, this was true: Coming into Sunday’s game, Bryant was hitting .294/.387/.472 in the home of the Reds. That’s good, though a bit below his career norms. And though he had 17 home runs against the Reds lifetime entering Sunday — his most against any team — just five of them had come in GABP. Three of those were in his record-setting three-homer, two-double game June 27, 2016, and the other two were in Jake Arrieta’s no-hitter April 21, 2016.
