Cubs: Kris Bryant goes undercover to prank college baseball team

Share

Watch out Ashton Kutcher, there's a new prankster in town. 

Cubs' All-Star third baseman Kris Bryant is back at it again. Last season Bryant tricked unsuspecting passengers looking for a ride as a Lyft driver in the YouTube series titled "Undercover Lyft."

Bryant has ditched the car and moved on to a prank where he could be himself.

In a prank sponsored by Red Bull, the reigning National League Rookie of the Year was introduced to the Mesa Community College Baseball team as Roy Nabryt, a European transfer who manager Tony Cirelli described as a "big donkey"— eat your heart out Adam Dunn.

”He can help us," Cirelli told his Thunderbolts team. "Guys who are pitching are going to lose some innings. Guys who are hitting are going to lose at-bats. If he gets us to Oklahoma [for the College World Series] and we win another ring, no one’s going to be complaining.”

The Thunderbolts team watched "Nabryt" slug homer after homer in batting practice before quickly realizing "That's Kris Bryant."

Bryant may not win an Oscar for the prank, but he'd probably settle for a World Series ring next October.
