Harper leads bounce-back hitters list

Related Topics: Bryce Harper, Mike Trout, Outfielder

A year ago at this time, a reasonable case was being made that Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper was the equal -- for both real-life and fantasy purposes -- of Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout. It seems rather silly today, of course, after Harper hit a mere .243 and went from being the No. 3 overall selection in ESPN average live drafts to ending up outside the top 20 outfielders and top 50 hitters on the Player Rater, but it’s true. Harper was terrific in 2015, though.
