Baseball Reference's Immaculate grid from Wednesday features clues for Chicago Cubs players who have won the Rookie of the Year award. There have been only six men to accomplish this feat in team history, and here they are.

1. Kris Bryant 2015

Kris Bryant was one of the main cornerstones of the Cubs' offense during the last playoff window, and he was good from the time he debuted in 2015. After getting called up to the majors in April, Bryant never looked back and instantly became the most dangerous hitter alongside Anthony Rizzo. In his rookie season, Bryant smacked 26 home runs and drove in 99 with an impressive .275/.369/..488 slash line.

With the ability to get on base, play defense all around the field, hit for contact and power, Bryant was the complete package that took the Cubs took the next level. The 2010s were Bryant's best years, and he is the only player in MLB history to win college player of the year (2013), Minor League Player of the year (2014), NL rookie of the year (2015), and NL MVP (2016) in consecutive years.
