Cubs prospect Kris Bryant seems to be a cool dude.

How cool?

Forget that he was Baseball America's 2014 Minor League Player of the Year after leading the minors with 43 homers, combined between Triple-A Iowa and Double-A Tennessee last season.

Check out what he did for memorabilia collector Mike Kennedy.

Kennedy wanted to buy one of Bryant's game-used bats that he found on eBay for $850.

To make sure the bat was legit, Kennedy sent a tweet to Bryant asking for confirmation. Follow along with what happened.

@KrisBryant_23 is there anyway I could DM u a link and you could tell me if this looks legit to you? Want to buy it if it was yours. Thanks
