FILE - In this Feb. 25, 2017, file photo, Washington Nationals' Bryce Harper watches his home run against the New York Mets during a spring training baseball game in Port St. Lucie, Fla. There is a reason Harper continues to be a high first round pick despite disappointing fantasy team owners last year. It's his 2015 season. Harper batted .330 with 42 home runs, 118 runs and 99 RBIs. Harper saw a huge drop in average and hit only 24 homers last year, but he did steal 21 bases. This spring, Harper is tearing the cover off the ball, flashing that power again. While it would be surprising to see a .330 average and 40-plus home runs again, Harper is still just 24 years old. Hitting 30-plus home runs with a high-200s average and 20 steals is doable, and that would make Harper a top-5 hitter again. (AP Photo/David J. Phillip, File)
