Tough to tell how much this will help Harper hit baseballs this year. On one hand this movement requires an insane amount of core and leg strength, which is important to hitting. On the other hand people won't give two shits about him being able to do this if Bryce has a down season after last year's breakout. But professional athletes love to post photos and videos of themselves working out, especially when they're doing well. I get it, it's 2016 and it's important to create your own personal brand and that's what Harper is doing here.
Speaking of 2016 it should be an interesting year for The Chosen One. Crazy to think it was just a year ago when people thought this guy was overrated. Turns out it just took a full season of health for Harper to launch himself into the best player in baseball discussion.
Last season Harper became the youngest unanimous MVP in the history of baseball, leading the National League in homers, runs, OBP, slugging, OPS, and OPS+. Still just 23 he's younger than last years NL Rookie of the Year winner Kris Bryant. If he keeps working out like this 2015 could have just been the first of many MVP awards.
really not that impressed at all
