Bryce Harper, the youngest non-pitching All-Star in Major League Baseball history, has hitting statistics that so far exceed Ken Griffey Jr. and Alex Rodriguez, two potential Hall of Famers who also entered the big leagues before they turned 20.
Harper, the Washington Nationals’ 19-year-old outfielder, replaced injured Giancarlo Stanton of the Miami Marlins on the National League roster for tonight’s game in Kansas City. He enters the All-Star break with a .282 batting average, eight home runs and a .354 on-base percentage in 248 at-bats.
