Say what you want about Harper. But the story of his early MLB journey is an interesting one in my book.

[@r.jguerra5526]

He's always angry and it's very funny

Yeah, it was def not your typical route. His parents were thinking WAAAAYYYY out the box with this kid. Great talent though so I guess it all made sense to them, as It did pay off quite handsomely. Cool vid but I will also add that his brief college pitching career, was a total bomb. He threw hard but got rocked pretty much every time they let him have the ball until they realized it was a terrible idea. lol.

Bryce has been my favorite player for a while now. He was the only guy I would check on when I fell out of love for baseball. He was just a confident kid who worked hard, but literally 10s of 1000s of grown adults despised Bryce for this. What isn't mentioned in this video too much is the sheer amount of hate Bryce received every game. There are now a bunch of clips of Bryce being called overrated before smashing a home run. That started when he was 14. How he spent 4 years playing in front of bigger and more hostile crowds, taking it in stride is just amazing. Say what you want about his inconsistency in the MLB, about 99% of players would take even his worst season's numbers and only a handful of players ever can say they have multiple MVPs

[@chriscampbell3417]

So his college stats converted to a full 162 games was equivalent to 76 HR, 234 RBI, 231 R, 47 SB, in 162 games.

[@Christopher-cm6he]

Jesus

[@tylers82]

Bryce and I are the same age so I grew up watching his highlight videos after coming home baseball practice. He was a stud in high school but I never imagined he would actually succeed in the mlb. He’s one of the few top baseball prospects that actually did well in the mlb

[@rustyshackelford4224]

Why do prospects consistently fail so bad in the majors again?

[@Mr.Misanthrope]

I remember playing him the summer going into my freshman year of HS. We were down 17-1 and didn't want to waste pitching so they put me in and my man sent my 3rd pitch at least 500 feet. Never even saw it land 😅

[@TheJiggaNasty]

As an O's/Nats fan, I miss watching Harper on a regular. Dude is really the perfect baseball player, a prodigy. I love when he goes off on players and umpires because he's usually correct

I sent him a magazine when he was on the cover , sports illustrated I think. He was still in highschool but he mailed it back signed . It was awesome . He was known to answer autograph requests before he got drafted

I was in that San jac team in 2010 when we played Harper at the juco WS and he got ejected.. dude was a monster then and still is

[@kc4662]

I was at Crowder that year and saw him get escorted out by 4 police officers for protection. Mind blowing the amount of attention he was receiving at his age.

[@Fryed_Bryce]

The most successful Bryce so far. I met a black Bryce once, that was crazy

I know a black Bryce and a white Bryce and that’s how we differentiate between the two.

[@senorpepper3405]

Good stuff😂

[@jmg999]

I don't know if you mentioned it or not, but he was using a wooden bat in high school where he was completely eligible to use a metal bat like everyone else. He was more interested in preparing himself for MLB. I always found that interesting.

[@user-rk7rl7tm5w]

Most decent high school players I know use a Baum bat just to prepare for club/perfect game tournaments

[@tima.478]

Not that odd bro, we did this back in the early 80's getting ready for Summer (Legion) ball.

[@kllrbee69]

Guy is a freak. Id take him any day over almost anyone in the league. His intensity is unrivaled. With that said, I still chuckle when Cole Hamels "welcomed" him to the bigs.

[@tima.478]

If I had him there's literally 50 players I would trade him for...he's a team of 1, always has been. No hit on him, it's just how he rolls.

[@craigwheeler4760]

It's really crazy to see the way Harper and Trout have evened out in terms of results. Trout -- Started out super hot and healthy. Now he can't finish a season, is plagued with injury, and plays on losing teams. Harper -- Always had good, not great teams, started out getting hurt in a lot of seasons, but got healthy at the right moments. Now he's playing a lot of games, having MVP seasons, and taking his team deep into the playoffs with clutch hits and moments. Both guys are team players, but I think Harper is the ultimate teammate and player. He changed positions twice to help his team out when needed. His play at first base is amazing, when you consider he never played 1st in his entire life until last year. To even be a league average defender at 1st is incredible for someone new to the position. Ever since 2020 Bryce Harper has been at least equal to Trout. He's been on the field way more games, produced more hits, more RBI, and won an MVP.. Harper has taken his good team to the playoffs, and nearly drug a mediocre team (that was not much better than the Angels' team in 2021) to the playoffs by himself, on the back of his 2nd MVP season. Whenever he gets on a team that would go to the playoffs without him, like the 2022 squad, he gets that playoff team to game 6 of the WS. That's a great player. I would love to see what a healthy Mike Trout would do on a team like the Braves or Astros. He's tear shit up!

[@Hamburger-xw2mi]

I think it’s safe to say, this phenom made it

[@michaelweston2285]

anyone else notice how weird it is this narrator ends the last syllable or 2 of every single sentence he says going from a high pitched note to a lower pitched note? it's really weird. and once you notice it, very irritating.

[@tsua8061]

Stop.

[@SergioArambula]

I remember watching that 6-6, 4 HR game in 2010 during the junior college world series.... let me tell you, the hype was impalpable, the crowd was absolutely stunned... I thought to myself, "this is what it must have felt like to see Tiger win his 3rd straight amateur championship, to see Griffey at Moeller High in 87, to see Arod at Westminter Christian in 93, or even Serena in the 99 US OPEN final" Sure fire phenoms. I honestly thought Bryce was going to break baseball. To this day the best 17 year old I'd ever seen. And at that moment in time, I woulda been hard pressed to name ONE team in the majors where he wouldn't be able to start in the outfield as a 17 YEAR OLD!. Unreal moment.

[@randymarsh6931]

Listening to this, it’s a wonder he didn’t burn out. Young players do not play this hard anymore when draft money is on the table. He really is a legend.

[@paulcruz4215]

Love to know what his training regiment, nutrition, and supplement schedule were like in high school/JC...

[@vegastjg]

He was an absolute sure thing at sixteen.

[@paulcruz4215]

Maddux threw well over 90 mph in high school and chose to throw upper 80's to get optimal movement on his FB and Splitter.

[@OnTheCosp]

I played in the tournament he went 12-12 in, what’s wild is the double was a ground rule double 😂

[@_This_world_shall_know_pain_]

Umpires are the absolute worst for that reason

[@imastudd]

Great info and clips but you gotta work on how you intonate the ends of your sentences. Your pitch goes up at the end of every sentence and it’s hard to listen to for more than a few minutes. Again, great research, info, and clips and this is something you can definitely adjust.

[@fallendeus5641]

hearing stories like that last one with the ump obviously not doing his job intentionally... really makes me wish that batters would just crack them in the face in situations like that. They deserve it.

[@oldmangaming3858]

As a nats fan i have so much love and hate and respect for harper. Just annoyed that he is on the phillies.

[@efg1311]

In my lifetime there’s only been 3 bonafide phenoms coming out of high school, Griffey, A-Rid, and Harper. All 3 have lived up to the hype but I just wish Harper could stay healthy because I honestly don’t think he’s played more than a couple seasons where he wasn’t injured.

@@bipity-bob Agreed. Harper should've been though. He talked about wanting to go to the HOF in pinstripes before he was even drafted (knowing he was never going to get drafted by the Yankees because they never have top 5 picks). His swing was made for the Stadium. And he would've been the perfect larger than life ARod type personality to Judge's Jeter (though obviously without the off the field problems ARod had - but every ounce the competitive fire and incredible passion for the game as a baseball rat that ARod had). He could've kept his number 34 too (a number he chose because it adds up to 7 for Mantle).
