fuck that was hysterical because he's a pro. I get it you're being sarcastic. you're so godman fucking funny and original. holy shit did you make that up yourself? are you naturally this gifted? you fucking god of comedy. what else do you have? so original how do you do it
dang going to miss this dude next school year =] friends since 4th grade and i would have never guessed this. we always played football before school and after school and at lunch. going to miss u man Good luck
It's unbelievable to see where Bryce has come. The dude was arguably the most hyped MLB draft prospect of all time. He had a TON to live up to....and he lived up to ALL of it.
For those of you who aren't familiar with baseball metrics...Harper's home run with a 113 mph exit velocity at 4:01 is almost unheard of for an MLB hitter, let alone a high school player
My brother played with this kid on the San Diego Stars. He was the real deal. I remember in Cooperstown i would fetch at least 3 of his homeruns a game. Hes pretty amazing
Thank you, finally a voice of reason! No one especially, us, is saying he's a guarantee...by posting the video we were just trying to let people see extended footage of what scouts are saying is a once in a generation hitting prospect...keyword - prospect. boxer is wildly insecure...
"Bryce is a good kid with amazing talent. It is too bad that there are so many jealous haters out there. It is obviously because they will never have the opportunity to succeed the way Bryce has. If he stays healthy, he will only get better. Good luck Bryce. " -A comment from 8 years ago (before he was drafted)
some said he was more likely to be the ryan leaf of baseball instead of lebron, lots hating on the fact that he is using an aluminum bat. some saying they he reminds them of a powerful joe mauer. can he hit a curveball? he is on roids. this kid happy gilmores his swing, the mlb is gonna kill him fast. what is that leg crap he is doing? read about this kid in SI, he is gonna flop. he's got skills, but this is one of the gayest videos that i've ever seen.
they don't exist. if it's an old video of a current star 'this kid might make it' or 'this kid will never make the pros' then you have your anyone watching in 2019..I wish youtube comments would just be eliminated
Bryce is a good kid with amazing talent. It is too bad that there are so many jealous haters out there. It is obviously because they will never have the opportunity to succeed the way Bryce has. If he stays healthy, he will only get better. Good luck Bryce.
Cant wait to show this to my kid. My kid is hitting 320ft dead center at 13 his center feild is 350ft. I cant wait maybe this even help more. This is bad ass I hope this Harper guy ends up on the REDS!
The Washington Nationals took him first overall in the 2010 amateur draft. The scout was Mitch Sokol. He became the third-youngest player to be taken first following Tim Foli and Ken Griffey Jr., and the 5th catcher, following Steve Chilcott, Mike Ivie, Danny Goodwin, B.J. Surhoff and Joe Mauer. However, the Nationals announced that they would move him to the outfield, once signed, in order to speed up his arrival in the major leagues.
kurtis troy lmao rings? hes twenty two years old in a franchise that been around for TEN years. and on paper theyre the favorite to get a ring this year. be for real.
kurtis troy but thats not his fault. its the bullshit media. hes a GREAT ball player and has accomplished a LOT to be 22 years old. i really dont see how hes over rated he was rookie of the year when he was NINETEEN years old he was an all star that year he was an all star the next year at 20 and he was hurt a lot of last year but was the only reason the nats won a game in the playoffs last year and actually played good in all 4 playoff games. now some career statistics. MLB AVERAGES avg.251, ops.700, obp.314, slg.386 HARPER avg.272, ops.816, obp.351, slg.465 NOT overrated stats speak for themselves hes an ABOVE AVERAGE player and has been since 19
I’m just here to see how many people make the same “this kid might make the MLB” joke. Like, we get it. Go look at any video of an athlete back when they were young. Like Kobe or LeBron in high school or Tom Brady at Michigan. I guarantee you the top comment will be something like “this kid isn’t bad. He might make the NBA today…” guaranteed…
Funny to read someone state that his swing is not fluid. That kind of distance can only be achieved from a combination of brute strength and nearly-perfect mechanics. His swing is not only explosive, kind of like a whiplash, but it is also a thing of beauty. I hope he can stay focused so we can enjoy that swing for years to come.
Did you not watch the beginning of the video?? This kid is a phenomenon and as long as he can stay healthy he will be one of the greats in the MLB, bar none. It's not just about the bat, look at his swing speed, his mechanics, his arm strength, his opposite field power. Don't hate on the basis that you aren't and will never be as good as he is.
This was 2008, with the World Series logo in the back, the same 2008 the Phillies won the World Series, now he’s a Phillie for the rest of his career #WelcomeHome
He ran a 6.93 60...that was one of 3 he ran...no one has been in a hurry to screw with the catching mechanics because most scouts have said he will hit his way out of catching and into 3rd base or OF
hand that same bat to anyone playing today and theyll hit 600 ft. maybe the aluminum bats were allowed because a wooden bat might kill a kids confidence
Hitting a baseball is the most difficult regular task in any sport. You may not need to be as physically fit in the cardiovascular sense, but baseball players have some of the most incredible hand eye coordination and reactions of any athletes. And fielding a batted line drive going over 100 mph is clearly harder than stopping a soccer ball.
well yea its his load. everybody does it different its all about how you clear your hips bryce trained alot constantly playing constantly swinging. his exaggerated swing and using his entire body contributes mostly but it doesnt change that you still need to train
somebody need to test this kid for steroids. not because he hits home runs but because of the unsportsmanlike way he plays the game. he will do anything to win even cheat. so speaking to that character he will most likely have no problem taking steroids. i watched a game where hit grounded out to first and faked like the ball went off his foot. even faking pain and holding his foot. used to respect his homerun hitting power. but how can anyone respect a man who plays the game in such a childish sort of way
Yes produced shit XD in the play offs he hit 3 homeruns out of 4 games and he bats at least 270 with a good amount of homeruns. After 2 years of mlb he has 50 homeruns dip shit
For all you haters watching.. he's a junior in high school here. so who cares if its an aluminum bat, its still over 500 feet, thats good at any age with any bat.
Kid is an amazing player. I just hope he's ready for a lot of criticism from pretty much everyone who's not a Nats fan. But, no matter who you are, he has talent. May as well enjoy him being a Nat before he goes to the Yankees or Red Sox after his contract is up here.
kids bat speed is amazing. swing is perfect. aluminum bat or not, with those things your gonna be a unbelievable hitter. anyone hear about his 570 foot homerun? and also that he can throw a 95 mph fastball. this kids insane
Also, people don't realize that generally, a baseball is hit farther with a metal bat, but a ball can be hit farther with a wooden bat. The "sweet spot" on a metal bat covers a greater area, hence the greater average distance hit with a metal bat. Although a wooden bat has a smaller "sweet spot", when that spot is hit, the ball will travel farther than it would have off of a metal bat.
expectations are high for this kid, but i think hes well on his way to becoming a superstar. he bats for average and power, hes excellent defensively, hes fast, and has a huge arm. im usually not one to get on the bandwagon for "phenoms" or "potential stardom," but i have no doubt hes gonna be a great player.
Essentially, the conclusion was that the faster batted ball speed produced by the metal bat means the ball will go farther than one hit with wood. A baseball coming off a wood bat at a speed of 98.6 mph will travel 388 feet, whereas one hit with metal at a speed of 106.5 mph will travel more than 400 feet.
No race of people own baseball. It's the amount of dedication, work and heart you are willing hive. Kids in the DR actually train alot with coaches at baseball facilities even if they are really poor. The coaches their make profit of their signing bonuses if they sign when they're 17. Of course natural talent helps alot but if u don't work hard, you're not guna accomplish anything
This kid might be good one day
Ricky p maybe🤔
he’s a bust
This kid might be a douche one day...oh wait.
fuck that was hysterical because he's a pro. I get it you're being sarcastic. you're so godman fucking funny and original. holy shit did you make that up yourself? are you naturally this gifted? you fucking god of comedy. what else do you have? so original how do you do it
tim smith shut the fuck up you useless swine.
anyone who knows baseball can tell this kid will be really good. His swing is text book and i wish him all the best

I like how everyone gets butthurt about your comment like damn its something not many people can say
Before he was well known he was on the cover of sports illustrated while in high school! 2008 or 2009.
I would call that well known.

His swing is absolutely beautiful
griffey has a beautiful swing, bryce has a violent swing which will no doubt hurt him in the long run
Bidwellz9 won a mvp and got paid millions”hurt him in the long run” he said😂😂
@@Bidwellz9 Damn you are a hater.
@@carlostattooz do you know what long run means? how long do you think he can sustain a swing like that????? grow up

For those of you who aren't familiar with baseball metrics...Harper's home run with a 113 mph exit velocity at 4:01 is almost unheard of for an MLB hitter, let alone a high school player
Metal vs wood bat but still insane
110+ exit velo is common in the mlb it would probably be unheard of in highschool
I love watching these 12 years later Damn
My brother played with this kid on the San Diego Stars. He was the real deal. I remember in Cooperstown i would fetch at least 3 of his homeruns a game.
Hes pretty amazing
Did you keep those hr balls?
sometimes i come back to this video randomly to remind myself how good Bryce is
So many things go through my mind when I watch this kid, I almost tear-up whenh I watch him play......just......WOW!!!

Can you Update us now.
How is he doing now

I love this kids attitude towards the game
+Its Vikzy have u been living under a rock bruh. Hes in the mlb now
Aidan Cooper i knew that
Aidan Cooper i call him kid because im 36
Chil, alright. Meh bad
“Has a great attitude towards the game” but rejected a 300 million dollar contract front the team that drafted him
more than likely he will be the #1 overall pick by the nationals in 2010
I'm a fucking boss
No yet...Derek Jeter is a fucking boss...your proven talent that hasn't done shit yet
kurtis troy he has 55 home runs in the majors and is 22..... shut the fuck up
kurtis troy lmao rings? hes twenty two years old in a franchise that been around for TEN years. and on paper theyre the favorite to get a ring this year. be for real.

500 feet is impressive but it shouldn't count to the record at the Trop. Maybe if he was using a wood bat.

this video ends the debate on linear hitting vs rotational hitting. perfect example of rotational hitting. it gives you tremendous power.
i feel like how he pivot's his knee inward when he swings, contributes to a lot of his power
well yea its his load. everybody does it different its all about how you clear your hips bryce trained alot constantly playing constantly swinging. his exaggerated swing and using his entire body contributes mostly but it doesnt change that you still need to train
Oh ya absolutely I personally feel like this kid could be a star for years to come
He's good, but doubt he'll make it the majors. It's so tough nowadays.
I hope your being carcastic
May I ask what carcastic means?
I meant sarcastic XD
either way u stupid cuz
This kid is gonna be mvp one day
he'll never make it to the mlb
said no one ever
hes been in the mlb since 2012 dumb ass
are you stupid or stupid
Or am I joking, how bout that shit? dumbasses hahaha
