Bryce Harper sees elements of 3 former All-Stars in Bryson Stott

The Philadelphia Phillies re-signed Didi Gregorius to a two-year/$28 million deal this offseason, but Bryce Harper thinks his that the organization has another potential star shortstop looming in the minor leagues.

Harper, a Las Vegas native, says he’s become good friends with 2019 first-round pick Bryson Stott, who the Phillies selected out of UNLV. Stott, 23, comes to Harper’s home nearly every weekend to watch, among other things, Ohio State Football. Beyond the friendship that the two have established, Harper is looking forward to the day that he and Stott take the field together at Citizens Bank Park.
