Bryce Harper (C) - College of Southern Nevada

Bryce Harper breaks two separate bats while taking part in batting practice at USD's Cunningham Stadium on August 13, 2009. Harper, who played the 2009 season at Las Vegas High School, was selected to play on the West Team for the AFLAC All-American Game. The 6-foot-3, 195 pound catcher has passed his GED and will attend the College of Southern Nevada next season in what was suppose to be his junior year of high school. He is the top candidate to be the first player taken in the 2010 MLB First-Year Player Draft.

@ecdcheerleader What the hell are you talking about! If you play tee ball and you get a wooden bat and you hit it on the handle its not going to break immediately you have to swing hard to break a wooden bat!!!

@TrevorAndresen yeah that explains the maxbat that #23 is holding

why dont you guys join division 1 football? I dont see why not

[mothahen123]

haha for a guy that good he should not be breaking bats in batting practice

[Daustinsmith14]

@Daustinsmith14 Did I ever say it matters how hard you swing? No, I did not. He said he had no offense which is wrong why don't you get off that guy's dick.

@Daustinsmith14 he never said he doesnt hit well lol but your still wrong.. it doesnt matter how hard you swing its all about where it hits the bat dude.. certain spots shatter the bat.. it happens.. come your boner down

[Daustinsmith14]

@ecdcheerleader Are you kidding me?! No offense?! Go look up his 502 foot homerun, go look up his collage stats, and go look up his afl stats they are all great. He has plenty of offense.

[ecdcheerleader]

@Daustinsmith14 it doesnt matter how hard he swings just where the ball hits the bat some pros swing faster than him and they dont break bats all the time not taking anything away from him i believe he is the best overall player there is but your just wrong no offense
