Bryce Harper: ‘The Lebron James of Baseball’

Probable #1 Pick 16 Year Old Bryce Harper

If you do not know who Bryce Harper is, now you do. The probable number one pick in this season’s 2010 MLB Draft, Harper, a catcher by trade, is only 18 years old and mashing already this season. He has been touted for a couple years now as the ‘Lebron James of Baseball’

Through Valentine’s Day, Harper was hitting .362, getting on base over 42% of the time, and has three HR and 15 RBI.

Harper received his GED after dropping out of high school last season in order to chase his big league dreams. He will be eligible after this season for the June MLB Draft and he is expected to be represented by super agent Scott Boras who will likely scare off potential suitors.

It is more than probable Harper and Boras will command more than the $15.1 million last season’s No. 1 pick Stephen Strasburg did, but will it cost Harper the title of top pick?

Swing analysis: Got fooled, hips flew open, kept hands back and smoked that ball. He literally accidentally hit that ball out of the park. Unbelievable.

We’re still trying to figure out what song he comes out to. Sounds like Bonecrusher or someone, can anyone help?
