Bryce Harper

Used to think he was a major douche when he first came into the league because, well, just because. But the more I’ve learned about him over the years, and more I’ve watched him play, the guy is a complete gamer. The guy you want fighting alongside of you. Fvcking stud.

I've liked him since super early in his rookie campaign when he got plunked by Cole Hamels "welcome to the Big Leagues" style and then later in the inning stole home on him. I'm a Braves fan but always liked Bryce.

 
Was never a big fan, but have grown to appreciate him more as a player over the last few years.
Pretty incredible that the guy has been famous for his baseball prowess since high school, which baseball washes out more "can't miss prospects" than any other sport and here we are 12 years later he has his career-defining (to this point) moment.
 
I have no idea why he saw any pitch even close to the strike zone in that situation today with the way he's been swinging the bat.
