Bryce Harper is a well-known American baseball right fielder who now plays for the Major League Baseball Washington Nationals. He was selected by the club in the Major League Baseball draft in 2010. He has proven his worth as an effective player during his time with them thus far. In 2015, he became the first player to win the National League Rookie of the Year Award before ever playing a game in that league. Harper's family moves to Virginia when he is young so he can get better training from some of the best coaches in the country. When it is time to choose a high school to attend, he picks St. Stephen's & St. Agnes because they are both great schools close to his house. After graduating from high school in 2007, he decides to go to Columbia University in New York City. While at college, he changes his mind again and decides to try out for the baseball team after seeing how talented they are. In 2009, he joins the team as a freshman and becomes one of their most valuable players immediately. That same year, he also makes the jump to full release while playing third base. After his first season, Harper gets drafted by the Washington Nationals in the first round of the MLB draft. The team gives him a $4 million signing bonus. This makes him the highest paid teenager in history. He spends three seasons developing into a superstar before injuring his knee in 2013.
