18-year old baseball phenom Bryce Harper, who is ranked as the #3 prospect in MLB, has been promoted. The hot-hitting outfielder jumps from single A ball in Hagerstown, MD to AA Harrisburg, both farm teams for the Washington Nationals. Harper, originally a catcher, has been moved to left field where he can work on his defense. His hitting is solid. He’s batting .318 with 14 HR and 46 RBI but needs to improve his base running and stealing skills. Check out his hitting highlights here:

Harper will also be playing next Sunday in the 2011 XM All-Star Future Game in Phoenix – a showcase for budding MLB talent. Imagine what the Nationals will be like in a year or two with Harper in the outfield and Stephen Strasburg on the mound!
