Sports Illustrated recently wrote a piece on a 16 year old phenom from Las Vegas… Bryce Harper. The cover shows Bryce in his follow through with the words: 570 foot home runs, 96 mph fastballs, 16 years old. Those three numbers alone are all you need to know to that this kid is a legit superstar. To the left of his picture, he is referred to as “The Chosen One”, who is the most exciting prodigy since LeBron (James). Once I read the cover, I had to see what all the hype is about. The kid, and I am using kid lightly because he is a beast, stands at 6′3″ and weighs 205 pounds.  That type of physique is easily comparable to Alex Rodriguez.

When he was asked what his goals were as a baseball player, he responded confidently:

“Be in the Hall of Fame, definitely. Play in pinstripes. Be considered the greatest baseball player who ever lived. I can’t wait.”

Do you think Bryce Harper will be a MLB superstar? What are your thoughts on this talented 16 year old?
