Seriously, you need more Bryce Harper hype right now probably only slightly more than you need an IRS audit.
He is going to win his first National League MVP award Thursday, and it probably will be unanimous, and it absolutely should be unanimous. (Full disclosure: I had a Baseball Writers’ Association of America NL MVP vote this year and had Harper No. 1 on my ballot.)
Here’s the thing about Harper and the historical season he produced in 2015: It was the first time in his career he played from Opening Day until season’s end without landing on the disabled list.
Bryce Aron Max Harper (born October 16, 1992) is an American professional baseball right fielder for the Washington Nationals of Major League Baseball (MLB). Harper was chosen by the Nationals with the first overall pick in the 2010 Major League Baseball Draft.
“Just like a groundout to third base or a popup to the second baseman. Instead of putting the ball in play, you’re striking out. It’s still an out. If my on-base percentage is still there, that’s the biggest thing. If I get on base, I make things happen. That’s the biggest thing for me.”
Yet his refusal to bite on pitches outside of the strike zone in 2015, elevated to Bondsian-like discipline, is the part of his game that was most noticeable and most responsible for boosting his on-base percentage to .460 in ’15 from .344 in ’14.
