He was the first pick in the 2010 MLB Draft.
The 33-year-old spent the first seven years of his career playing for the Washington Nationals.
ESPN’s Jeff Passan wrote (on October 7, 2023): “Bryce Harper is 30 years old. He has now spent half his life squarely in the limelight. He is a beloved teammate, a tremendous leader, an elite player and as clutch as anyone in the game. He is not just everything he was supposed to be. He is more.”
