No bat flips for Bryant: Crushed HRs 'enough of a disgrace for the pitcher'

Kris Bryant is keeping it classy.

The reigning National League MVP and Chicago Cubs third baseman revealed why he chooses not to bat flip on monster home runs.

"If it’s halfway up the video board, that’s it, that’s enough of a disgrace for the pitcher that you don’t need to add anything to it," Bryant told Dan Bernstein and Jason Goff of 670 The Score, per CBS Chicago. "You crushed a home run, you felt good about it. He felt bad about it. And it’s good."

With bat flips all the rage in today's game, the debate rages on whether players have the right to emphatically celebrate home runs. Bryant admitted he sees the antics as fun and, while he'd never take part, he believes pitchers shouldn't view it as an insult.

"If you’re watching a home run for a little bit, I don’t know if that’s necessarily showing up the other team, but certain guys play that way and certain pitchers are going to be upset seeing that," he said.

"But I think if you add more of that fun to the game, let guys be themselves - I’ll never do it, I’ll be the same boring Kris that I’ve always been - but if guys are going to do that, I think sometimes we’re a little too sensitive with certain things.

"I’ll never do it because I don’t want to be the guy that thinks it’s gone and it doesn’t go out. Because once you’re that guy, you’re always that guy."

Regardless if he changes his approach in the future, boring Bryant is still a pretty great version.
