Since launching three home runs against the New York Mets on May 6, Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper has been baseball's hottest hitter. Over a 12-game stretch that began that afternoon leading up until Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees, Harper hit .535/.630/1.349 with 10 home runs and 23 RBIs over 54 plate appearances.
Unfortunately, his sizzling stretch at the dish isn't the only thing that's taken center stage. During his time in the spotlight, which goes back to his days in high school in Las Vegas, Harper's also earned a reputation at times for being a hot head, which has now contributed to two ejections during that same stretch.
