Despite the fact that many critics have dubbed Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper as “overrated”, the former No.1 overall draft pick already has several accolades to his name in his four major league seasons.
Harper won the National League Rookie of the Year award in 2012 after a dazzling rookie campaign that helped lead the Nationals to their first ever postseason appearance. He’s been an all-star twice already, and given his excellent start to the 2015 season, I fully expect him to be back at the Midsummer’s Classic this summer as well.
Yesterday, Harper received his most recent accolade when he was named National League Player of the Week by MLB.
