Who’s the most dangerous young hitter in the game? Bryce Harper? His opponents sure think so, evidenced by the Barry Bonds treatment they’ve given him lately. Mike Trout? He’s a saberhead’s dream. Well check this out: heading into Friday’s action, these two young superstars had each hit 11 home runs in their last 190 plate appearances. The same can be said of San Francisco Giants slugger Madison Bumgarner.
That’s right. Going back to the start of 2014, Bumgarner has hit 11 home runs, which is good for one every 15.
