Bryce Harper made his Triple-A debut yesterday--more than six months shy of his 20th birthday--and went 2-for-4 with a double and a stolen base.
Dave Sheinin of the Washington Post notes that Harper’s arrival at Triple-A generated nowhere near the hype of Stephen Strasburg reaching the minors’ highest level in 2010, as Syracuse’s ballpark “was less than half-full ... with only a small media contingent on hand.”
Harper admitted afterward that he tried “to do way too much” while in Nationals camp and “getting sent down made me calm down and stay within myself.”
Now we’ll see how long he stays down.
