Bryce Harper was the most hyped baseball prospect of my life. At just 16 years old, he was labeled the Lebron James of baseball. Harper had created a mythology around his name by the time the Washington Nationals drafted him in 2010. He was hitting 500 foot home runs at 15 and throwing 96 MPH at 16.
Bryce was so good he graduated high school early and dominated JUCO in what should have been his senior year. He was the Nationals reward for a 59-103 campaign in 2009. From the moment he was drafted, Bryce was the face of the franchise.
