Video: Bryce Harper adjusts stride, load at the plate
As you can see, Bryce Harper has fine-tuned his swing since making his professional debut in the Arizona Fall League in 2010. Gone is the last minute, inward-foot-turn load. Now, Harper has a more traditional stride and load that I would assume allows him to drive more off-speed and outer-half offerings. But just because he’s made adjustments doesn’t mean he’s sacrificed any of his robust power. From what I can see, and from what his Minor League and Arizona Fall League stats indicate, his power is just as ridiculous, if not more ridiculous – if that’s even possible. All I know is that I can’t wait for Spring Training to roll around so that the “is Bryce Harper ready for the Major Leagues?” debate once again consumes the baseball world.
