Bryce Harper

Bryce Max Harper is a professional baseball player who plays for the Washington Nationals. He was born October 16, 1992 in Las Vegas, Nevada. In 2012, at the age of nineteen, he was the number one prospect heading into the MLB draft. In high school, Bryce hit a home run 502 feet long, and in college he hit one 570 feet long!  Bryce missed most of the 2014 season with a torn thumb ligament that he got while diving head first into third base. When he came back from his injury, Bryce hit more than twenty homeruns and was a total Beast helping the Nationals make it to the playoffs. Earlier in the 2015 season, Bryce's teammate, Jonathan Papelbom, lost his temper and began choking and hitting him in the dugout after Bryce flew out to left field. Following the fight, Papelbom was suspended for the rest of the season and Bryce had to miss a start in the next game for hitting back and defending himself. This season he has 41 homeruns, 96 runs batted in, and a .331 batting average. Bryce Harper is a young and talented superstar who has a great baseball future ahead.
