Harper, the first overall pick in the 2010 MLB Draft, has won two National League MVP awards and four Silver Slugger awards while excelling as an outfielder, designated hitter, and first baseman. He has recorded double-digit home runs for 13 consecutive seasons and is widely regarded as one of the greatest hitters to ever play the game.
