Despite having not played a game at the major league level yet, a lot of hype surrounds Bryce Harper. An outfielder in the Washington Nationals' organization, he was selected with the first overall pick in the 2010 MLB Draft. After performing exceptionally well in both the Instructional and Arizona Fall Leagues he was optioned to the club's team in Hagerstown, their High Single-A affiliate. A slow start led the team to believe they may have moved him too quickly. However, after a trip to the eye doctor and a new pair of contacts, Harper's minor league career quickly took off. He was selected to represent the United States in the 2011 Futures Game. He was then promoted to the Double-A Harrisburg Senators on July 4, 2011.
Harper hits for power and average and has an amazing ability to read pitches. A talented fielder as well, he has all the makings of a five-tool player and should be a cornerstone of the franchise for years to come.
All of Bryce Harper's current trading cards are considered prospect cards and will continue to be until he makes the 25-man roster at the big league level. His earliest cards come from Upper Deck's USA Baseball products.
