Do you realize that Bryce Harper is still only 22 years old?

[Darealtwo1]

If you don't follow baseball that's like saying "do you realize Blake Griffin is only 19?" Or "do you realize Demarco Murray is only 20?"

Kyrie was avg 22 at 20

I didnt realize that

He finally looks like he's coming good

 

[Captain Crunch]

so what

he hasnt lived up to the billing

the next griffey?

come on

Most players reach superstar status until 25 or later, even still he's had several very good years.

I knew the guy was young, but damn didn't realize he's older than only 4 positional players while having veteran experience in the pros, and yet he's still young enough to where we can wait a few years before really knowing if he lived up to his hype. He's been good as is, but really hoping this is the year he takes that jump.

 

[Reggie]

He may not have lived up to the hype so far but he is still young and has had a very good start to his career. When he hits about 25 or so that is when I think he will really start to dominate and become the player most think that he can become.

It's crazy.

People looking at Kris Bryant and meanwhile Harper is hitting multi-hr's like its nothing damn near.

That strikeout rate though.

 

[We Ready]

Seriously, he's fukking 22 years old. There are a total of FOUR regular position players in the majors that are younger than him. And it's his FOURTH FULL SEASON in the majors

 

[Jamal514]

Very impressive. I remember when I use to watch baseball, commentators would always gush over how young 25-26 year olds were.

[chineebai]

22 is definitely very young for baseball especially when someone could be in the minors all their life and never get a chance to get called up.

 

[TKOK]

People call him a bust because he's not Mike Trout....and he's younger than almost every hot new prospect we've seen the last couple years.

He's younger than Kris Bryant

He's still a good player, but the hype he had was crazy. With that amount of hype you'd expect him to be Willie Mays, Griffey JR right out of the gates. Him coming out the same year as Trout doesn't help either.

Harper is the future and the homie Michael Taylor, going to the Nats game sunday

 

[malbaker86]

Just has to stay healthy

Which is why ill "go out on a limb" and predict thatll be the thing that will hold him back

 

[wire28]

no but im sure you'll keep reminding us
