What position does Bryce Harper, projected number one pick in the baseball draft, play?”
Bryce Harper was called out on strikes and couldn’t believe it. Just to make sure the umpire knew how he felt, he drew a line in the dirt with his bat. The ump promptly tossed him.

Think about this, at the age of 17, batting 3rd, the most important spot in all of baseball, having a sold out crowd and over 100 pro scouts watching yo
