Share

Before Kris Bryant kicks off only his second full season in the big legaues (hard to imagine, right?), he and the Cubs will visit Las Vegas to take on the Cincinnati Reds in a pair of exhibition games this weekend.

It's a homecoming for Bryant, who was raised in Vegas and attended Bonanza High School in the Las Vegas Valley.

That's where his baseball career began in earnest and also where he met his high school sweetheart, Jessica, whom he married in January.

Red Bull did a photoshoot with Bryant - who is spending a ton of time modeling now as a rising star and one of the faces of baseball - returning to his roots:

They also filmed a video touching on some of Bryant's favorite memories, like the time he pulled a Kyle Schwarber and nailed a car windshield with a homer.

What a week for Bryant, who also earned a spot on the Sports Illustrated 2017 season preview cover:
