Bryce Harper

The Washington Nationals brought Bryce Harper to the major leagues to play in a game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night. The previous day, he was playing for the Syracuse Chiefs and the game was snowed out. The very next day was spent flying over to Los Angeles and arriving at 2:00 A.M., then preparing for his major league debut the same day. Harper went 1 - 3 with an RBI. He also displayed his arm strength by throwing an absolute bullet to Wilson Ramos. The runner would have been out, but Ramos dropped the ball.

This should be the beginning of a very successful career for Harper. Its hard to believe that he is only 19 years old. Most people at that age are almost ready to finish their freshman year in college. He is playing in the MLB and needs to make sure to enjoy it and have fun. If he puts unecessary pressure on himself, he will not succeed. He has a long career ahead of him and needs to play the game for the right reasons.

He also made an amazing catch against the wall while playing center field.
