Bryce Harper of the Philadelphia Phillies may be one of the best all-around players in the MLB, and his ability to excel in all areas and aspects of the game is what makes him unique.
Throughout his 11-year career, Bryce Harper has led the MLB in several different metrics. His ability to hit, run, walk and field earns him a place on a very exclusive list of MLB players. Let’s take a look at where Bryce Harper stands compared to the all-time greats of baseball.
In terms of home runs, Harper has a long way to go. He has hit 285 home runs over the course of his career. A respectable number, but it places him at number 179 all-time.
In terms of RBIs, Harper finds himself even lower on the list. His 817 career RBIs put him in the 486th spot for all-time home runs. Harper sees his name climb the list drastically when we count some slightly more esoteric statistics.
In terms of .OBP, which stands for on-base percentage plus slugging percentage, Harper ranks 59th all-time with an .OBP of .913 and has led the league twice in .OBP, once in 2015 and again in 2021.
