he has the physical ability. But does he have the mental ability? I remember when Tyson was in his early days. The media used to say he was unbeatable. The king of the ring. Then he started thinking he was and it all went to hell. I hope this kid is mentally strong enough to shrug off the hype and do what he does best.

The cover shows Bryce in his follow through with the words: 570 foot home runs, 96 mph fastballs, 16 years old. Those three numbers alone are all you need to know to that this kid is a legit superstar. To the left of his picture, he is referred to as “The Chosen One”, who is the most exciting prodigy since LeBron (James). Once I read the cover, I had to see what all the hype is about. The kid, and I am using kid lightly because he is a beast, stands at 6′3″ and weighs 205 pounds.  That type of physique is easily comparable to Alex Rodriguez.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cnbsports.com/2009/06/bryce-harper-the-next-babe-ruth/"><P>When he was asked what his goals were as a baseball player, he responded confidently:</p> <BLOCKQUOTE><P>“Be in the Hall of Fame, definitely.
