Bryce Harper of the Washington Nationals made it clear that this offseason he was going to work as hard as he can to get bigger and better. With all the allegations going on in the MLB, he wanted to make it clear that he wasn't on performance enhancing drugs. He stated that coming into training camp in 2014 that he would be "as big as a house."
He strolled into camp looking gigantic just as he promised. The funniest thing about it is what he was wearing. He came into camp with a shirt that read "PED FREE." PED = Performance Enhancing Drugs. In an interview with Harper he expressed his excitement for the new baseball year coming up. He is now entering his third Major League season. He had to undergo knee surgery in the offseason. He claims he's feeling refreshed and ready to play ball.
In his first two seasons he broke a .270 batting average with twenty or more home runs in both seasons. This is pretty impressive for a new player in the league. Usually it takes a few years to make it to the show but Harper has been a huge prospect since his youth. I expect huge number from Bryce Harper this season.
