Kris Bryant proved he has no fear on the baseball field in 2015, bursting onto the scene to capture the National League Rookie of the Year Award. It appears he's just as fearless away from the diamond.
With less than a month before position players report for spring training, Bryant took the plunge to get a closer look at one of the most dangerous predators on the planet.
It's been an eventful first offseason for the young Chicago Cubs third baseman, who also got engaged over the holidays.
Expectations will be higher than ever for Bryant and the revamped Cubs in 2016. The team enters as the odds-on favorite to win the World Series after adding high-profile free agents Jason Heyward, John Lackey, and Ben Zobrist.
