The debate over Bryce Harper and Mike Trout continues, but Harper will tell you himself that Trout is hands down the best.
“Baseball is always, ‘What have you done for me lately?’” Harper said. “That’s just how the game works. I still believe Trout is the best player in the game, hands down. It’s not about taking a backseat to anybody. I love seeing Stanton hit homers or Kris Bryant do the things he does. I love watching Matt Harvey or Gerrit Cole or Noah Syndergaard come up and throw 100 mph. I cheer for guys. I’ve always been that way.”
It really doesn’t matter what Harper says, however. The debate will continue.
