| - Bryce Harper is a current major league baseball player. He was the number one overall pick in the 2010 draft, highly touted prospect and NL Rookie of the Year in 2012, narrowly defeating Wade Miley. Born: 1992 Rookie Season: 2012
- Harper stands 6 foot 3 inches tall and weighs 205 lbs, and was already 5 foot 10 inches when he was only 12 years old. Harper is a catcher, but also plays shortstop, third base and pitches. He hit a 570 foot home run over "the right field fence, two trees, another fence, a sidewalk, five lanes of traffic on elevated South Hollywood Boulevard and yet another sidewalk, until it finally landed in the brown, undeveloped desert."(from Sports Illustrated issue June 8, 2009.) He also hit a 502 foot home run during the 2009 International Power Showcase, a home run derby for top prospects held at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg. The shot traveled over the big screen.
- As reported by CBS Eye on Baseball, in Wednesday night’s game against the West Virginia Power, first-tier Washington Nationals prospect Bryce Harper was involved in a bench-clearing incident which luckily didn’t turn into anything more than some jaw-flapping. Harper reportedly hit a massive home run off of Power starter Tyler Waldron in the first inning, later sriking out looking on his next at bat– triggering a stare down with Waldron which escalated into a screaming match, clearing both teams’ benches.

He also hit a 502 foot home run during the 2009 International Power Showcase, a home run derby for top prospects held at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg. The shot traveled over the big screen. He is also the first high school sophomore to be named a first team All-American by Baseball America. In 2008, Harper batted .590 with 11 home runs and 67 RBIs in 38 games for Las Vegas High School. In 2009 Harper had a .626 batting average to go along with 14 homers and 55 RBIs. Harper will take classes at the College of Southern Nevada over the summer and receive his GED in the fall, which would make him eligible for the 2010 Major League Baseball Draft.
- As reported by CBS Eye on Baseball, in Wednesday night’s game against the West Virginia Power, first-tier Washington Nationals prospect Bryce Harper was involved in a bench-clearing incident which luckily didn’t turn into anything more than some jaw-flapping. Harper reportedly hit a massive home run off of Power starter Tyler Waldron in the first inning, later sriking out looking on his next at bat– triggering a stare down with Waldron which escalated into a screaming match, clearing both teams’ benches. This is the first public incident for Harper, who has developed a reputation during his time as a high school and junior college player as having a hot head and short temper. Hopefully an incident like this one was a one-off situation caused by posturing between both young players and isn’t a sign of things to come for the promising young Nationals prospect. After all, Harper does have the eyes of the Nationals’ faithful squarely on his back–watching every move–and hoping that the substantial investment the team has made in him (and pitcher Stephen Strasburg)– eventually pays off down the road.
