[akarrows18]

[JustinVerlander35]

[dy325214]

The throw was high and the tag was late...young catchers need to understand that the throw to second is through the pitcher and its the pitchers job to get out of the way...a through to avoid the pitcher does not get the job done..1.8 seconds pop to pop is what is required...just my two cents

[mtm4849]

@dallasboricua21c great advice, me being a catcher like to see when someone knows what they are talking about!

[josephpru]

@dallasboricua21c If I wanted to know what young catchers needed to understand I would look it up.

[HeavyReignSkates]

that was honestly a shit throw.... he should of thrown a bullet like he normally does, if the short stop wasnt there, thats his fault, not harper's

[911urded]

@HeavyReignSkates agreed...that throw was just a rainbow comapred to his bullets he normally throws

[Jake41ify]

Everyone is like "Crappy throw, hes so baaaadddd" Get out there and do it? Thats really nice in my opinion. He can gun it, u hear a pop, the shortstop is able to easily get the ball and tag. If you think its crappy, then i'd love to see u do it:)

[forsureyess]

fuckin noodle

[soccer12bug]

did we go from third... back to second???

[hitdoctor24]

@soccer12bug it was on his lead dumb fuck...harper was throwing down because he had a huge lead.

[soccer12bug]

@hitdoctor24 we sorry, idont plaay baseball i was just asking a question.... no need to get mad

[hitdoctor24]

@soccer12bug wasn't mad, just pointing out the obvious

[MellowFellow92]

Kid's got a connon but that was a shitty throw

[AZbaseballplayer]

1.9 pop time nice

[DKim2014]

he looks like joe mauer.

[azere06]

am i the only one that noticed the second base umpire call the play safe

[viperdude281]

@azere06 He was obviously safe

[brandonmac007]

@azere06 No but you would the only person that didn't realize that he was safe.

[azere06]

@brandonmac007 Problem with it let me know!



[brandonmac007]

@azere06 ...

[timlikesfries]

@azere06 no! i did too

[azere06]

@timlikesfries lol

[MWdawg123]

@azere06 If you didnt notice it says tries to throw out a man

[azere06]

@MWdawg123 where the fuck those it say "Tries" Go to walmart and buy yourself a pair of glasses

[phiten40]

@azere06 In the video description, not the title smh

[azere06]

@phiten40 OHH i got told

[phiten40]

@azere06 lmao I had to chuckle just now

[johnzarcone]

@azere06 i noticed.

[thunderbolt306]

@azere06 nope i noticed it too

[HELLSACOOLTODD]

@azere06 Everyone else did....why? Vid description says throws down not throws out.

[jlefty30]

the ball wasnt no where close to a good throw hes good but not a catcher thats why he is being trained for the outfeild

[psopitch8]

@jlefty30 naw hes a great catcher but he will make it to the majors faster in the outfield

[richig761]

@jlefty30 He's actually a great catcher. He was ranked as one of the best defensive catcher's in juco last year. He's being moved to the outfield because he'll move up faster in the pros as an outfielder, and there is far less chance for injury. Among other reasons.

[maginick24]

@jlefty30 Yeah he's a very good catcher. Catching makes this one of a kind talent much too injury prone for a professional team's liking.

[cutegirl00179]

Look at Bryce after the throw, he knows he is kickass.

[GoHoosiers12]

@rocko231 STILL LOST OVER 80 games...when you decide to start making logical statements and can prove you've done what Harper and MLB owners have done, than and only then are you allowed to make bold accusations and judgements of players and teams strategies

[GoHoosiers12]

@rocko231 go to the link i posted at the bottom of this response. Tell me again which players make the most money? Oh that's right unless you're the ace of the team, it's the position players. Seeing as the Nationals already have an ace in Strasburg the money for Harper is at one of the 8 other positions. And your post about having an "ace pitcher dominate the game, you only need mediocre players around him." Your ignorance is showing. Strasburg had decent players around him and yet the Nats

[slashaxl11]

HARPER!!! ahhaa i love doing that to people at second

[artyblez]

my boy brian ragira on the bump!!

[AmishElectrician96]

tht base runner is like "FUCKKKKKK!!! y did i get tht big secondary"

[d5ranger]

@AmishElectrician96 hes safe

[mynameisjustinj]

@rutgersfan7 Are you kidding me? He is deffinitely going to the MLB. Why would the Nationals spend 12 million for one player and leave him in the Minor leagues?

[HawaiianStatus]

@mynameisjustinj exactly

[MrAndrewOlney]

he throws at :04 and it hits the glove at :05 right before it hits :06. I could care less about this kid but getting drafted #1 overall is pretty impressive. So I have no room to talk bad about him. Congrats to Rocko231 and crispycob for being drafted #1 overall. I look forward to seeing you on tv instead of talking shit bitches.

[rocko231]

Major league time down to second is 1.75 sec. Check this out he throws @ 0:04 and ball reaches at 0:06+ Way below average i'm not sure what this video is trying to prove.

BTW all these post of comments defending this kid all seems to come from the same person. Maybe it's him, because he's so full of himself?

[mbs1933]

@rocko231 your an idiot. major league pop time is like 1.9 or so. Ivan Rodriguez is around 1.8 and he has a cannon. The fastest ever recorded was something around 1.65 so to say 1.75 is the league standard is ridiculous. and harper throws at 0:04 and it hits the glove of the short stop before 0:06. so if you can do the math thats under 2 seconds, something like 1.8 so this 17 year old has the same time as Ivan Rodriguez. Get your facts straight d00d

[rocko231]

@mbs1933 where are you getting your facts from? If you want to even be considered as a pro-catcher you have to be able to throw down to second under 2 seconds. Over the last decades "YOU" Americans have been stereo typing catchers by signing 6'4 and 6'5 catchers because of size and power, neglecting the the art of catching. Thanks to the Molina brothers, catching is back. You said it your self Ivan has a cannon, this kid has not. Go dig what Ivan got for a signing bonus that is my point.

[mbs1933]

@rocko231 @rocko231 how can you say harper doesnt have an arm? he throws 96 from the mound. and yes a major league pop time is under 2.0 but there is a big difference from 1.9 and 1.75. Harper has been timed around 1.8 and if he doesnt have the strong arm as you claim he doesnt, then he sure as hell makes up for it in footwork. aslong as it gets there accurately and in that time no one can argue.

[rocko231]

@mbs1933 finally someone that makes a bit of sense. But none the less if he throws 96 mph they would have signed him for a pitcher no doubt about it.  Not even because of his power, even if he could hit the ball 700 feet still there is more money as a pitcher rather then a regular player that's it. Bottom line teams sign players to win games, you would still depend on 8 others if you have a phenom in the line up, unlike a pitcher who could dominate even if he had a mediocre team.

[Bjammin1227]

@rocko231 with strasburg to help solidify the the pitching core though they need another solid hitter

[rocko231]

@mbs1933 lastly my rating of Harper, from 1 - 8, I give him the following. Power 8, Hitting 7, Catching/Fielding 6, Running 5, Arm 6. Definitely not a 5 tool and definitely not worth 12 million. If I was the Nationals I would have passed the pick and go for Jameson Taillon instead.

[Bjammin1227]

@rocko231 and if adam dunn keeps up how he is playing now they are gonna have a dangerous lineup

[cfl990]

@rocko231 by your ratings alone i see 5 tool above avergae in everything

[NicKxWeekZ]

@rocko231 You don't know what you're talking about

[8USMNT17]

@rocko231

He doesn't have an arm? seriously? He throws 95 mph.

[mbs1933]

@rocko231 i understand what you mean by catching as an art im a catcher myself and its not just size and power its all the tools and the style you have and how comfortable pitchers feel throwing to you, i get that. but if harper is considered the best highschool baseball player to this point and was one of the few first overall picks that was not a pitcher, he has to be doing something right

[rutgersfan7]

@rocko231 He's not even going MLB, he's going to play outfield. Or Thats what I heard.

[rr02fsu]

@rutgersfan7 they're gonna have him play outfield in the minors, because that is the quickest route to the MLB. Also, if he plays right field, he's less likely to get injured or worn out than he would be playing catcher. he is, without a doubt, going to be playing in the MLB, and will be a catcher when he gets there. 2 years, tops.

[sergantsnipes16]

@rutgersfan7 the kid hit over .400 in jucos he is going to play the mlb, his pop time is 1.8 something and hes fast

[tigers12341]

Wow crispy your literally to stupid to insult

Like what the fuck

[Reynolds2995]

@tigers12341 Wow, you're literally to stupid to know grammar.
