On October 16, 1992, Bryce Aaron Max Harper was born in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is Harper’s place of worship. It is believed that his father’s influence played a role in the development of his strong work ethic. His brother was a baseball player for the Washington Nationals. Harper still refrains from drinking due to his religious beliefs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bryce graduated early from high school in Las Vegas. When the 2010 MLB Draft rolled around, he was able to begin his professional baseball career early as a result. Harper played catcher for the College of Southern Nevada when he was 17 years old. He broke the previous school record of 12 home runs each season by hitting 31 home runs during his undergraduate career. After challenging an umpire’s call, he was suspended, ending his amateur career.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Career: Bryce Harper’s<\/h2>\n

The Washington Nationals picked Bryce Harper in the 2010 draught. Despite being a catcher, he was instructed to play outfield because the Nationals wanted him to develop into a more well-rounded player before making his MLB debut. He originally agreed to a five-year, $9.9 million deal with a $6.25 million signing bonus. The Nationals also promised to cover the cost of college tuition for eight semesters.<\/p>\n

After a sluggish start to his minor career, Harper was offered contact lenses after being told by a doctor that he had “some of the worst eyes [the doctor] had ever seen.” His batting average dramatically increased, and over the following stretch, he hit.480. Harper was ultimately promoted to the major leagues by the Nationals in 2012 after a hamstring ailment again stalled his advancement.<\/p>\n
