After totaling “only” 55 homers in his first three MLB seasons, the Washington Nationals outfielder is proving worthy of his hype: 26 homers, 61 RBI and a .339 batting average over his first 81 games this season for Washington. The 22-year-old also led the National League in All-Star votes, and had a 1.168 OPS at press time, which stat-y seam-heads will tell you puts him in a class with some guy named Babe. twitter.com/bharper3407.
