Bryce Harper 2015 might be the best season in recent memory, at least since Barry Bonds. 22 year old Bryce Harper lit up the post-Bonds world. Bryce Harper was the most hyped draft prospect ever. It started with his high school seasons, as well as his sick Bryce Harper Juco highlights. He won Rookie of the Year, and baseball seemed poised to become Trout vs Harper for the next decade.

2015 represented the best season we saw from the Bryce Harper Nationals years. He dominated to the tune of .330/.460/.649 slash line, and also put up the highest wRC+ since Barry Bonds. It's no shock that this culminated in a Bryce Harper MVP, the first (and so far only) of his career. So when he failed to reach those great heights in the following few seasons, baseball fans were perplexed. Is Bryce Harper overrated? Many seem to think so. In fact, it's possible that, if anything, we now live in a Bryce Harper underrated time. After all, how can you argue that someone is the most overrated player in baseball if everyone agrees?

Some other things we'll discuss include comparisons to Mike Trout and Christian Yelich, the expected value of Bryce Harper Phillies contract, as well as an examination of Bryce Harper defense and Bryce Harper WAR.

I hope you all enjoy this episode of Baseball Bits, a Foolish Baseball production. The status of MLB seems shaky as I write this, so hopefully I can continue to entertain regardless of how much baseball is actually being played.
