Too stiff, not a natural swing
Prone to slumps
I think not a tough out

he still isn't as big as an outfield wall or as hard as a bat
so unless he stops running into walls and hitting himself in the head with bats it won't matter how big he gets

Id say he's not juicing (due to lack of veins down arms) and is bulking still but also has good genetics...
Good diet goes along way too coach...
Have a swimming pool pic of me across the road.
Dont lift weights these days but told im still quite muscular :getsome:

nah, the vascularity comes with the cut...which he hasnt done... shoulders/traps/head all dead giveaways that he at least used some Test along with an oral... probably the new superdmz 3 that is still legal... would like to see his stats, but in those 2 pics , he is quite a bit bigger than you can achieve by diet, otc supps and weights alone in such a short period of time

RR i was once bigger than that (at same age harper is now actually) and the most i took was musashi brand HMB for muscle recovery (which amde a big difference in recovery time which meant harder workouts the following days due to less soreness) and occasionally Creatine powder (although didnt do much at all)...
Keeping form in your sets when lifting, strict diet and sleeping pattern is what matters if you want to get big and keep it (at least that was my case as once you have it naturally you dont lose it)...
Genetics also helps ALOT...
Again, only saying what worked for me and used to frustrate me that although i did it naturally over years you'd always get guys saying you were juicing...

Idk...I find it really hard to believe he'd be stupid enough to risk getting caught juicing. You have to remember, these guys get the best nutrition, trainers, programs, etc. that money can buy.

not to mention a guy that young still has enough natural testosterone in the system to make some significant gains as he reduces the calorie expenditure during the off season as opposed to the 8+ hrs a day spent at the ball park.

kid said he was fukkin pissed off after last year so he was gonna hit the gym errday in the offseason so it's definitely possible...and likely...that its legit
Bryce Harper, u mad bro?
The 20-year-old Nationals star is so upset about his team missing the postseason he tells the Washington Post’s Adam Kilgore today he can’t bear to watch the baseball playoffs, in fact he “couldn’t care less.” Instead he’ll chill on the couch at his Las Vegas pad with his girlfriend and watch some college football.
Oh, right he also plans to CRUSH IT at the gym so he arrives at Nationals’ Spring training in 2014, “big as a house.”
This should come as no surprise to the guy who once showed up for batting practice with a “Suns Out! Guns Out!” tank top.
Harper, listed at 6-foot-2/230 pounds, finished the 2013 season with a .274/.368/.486 line with 20 homers in only 118 games due to numerous injuries including his face-first crash into the wall at Dodger Stadium and a lingering knee issue.
Perhaps he’s taking the Mike Trout rout. The Angels star outfielder followed up his Rookie of the Year campaign in 2012 by arriving to Spring Training in 2013 bulked up to 240 pounds. Trout, 21, was probably even better this season upping his OPS to .988.
Asking Harper about his motivation for getting swole probably falls under the auspices of a “clown question, bro.”

looks like he found some new synthetic HGH, Strausberg pitched 2 solid innings if he is back healthy and Brice is jacked the Nats could be strong.

He is on gear. You don't get to that size in 4 months. Looks like he put on about 30 pounds of muscle in 4 months, you can't do naturally.

This.
Look at Derek Jeter. Perfect example of how a baseball player looks when you aren't on gear.

Jeter was pretty built when he was hitting all those homers when Bonds was playing, Harper is not a natural hitter so he will have issues being really effective.

new supplements come out all the time.
Then when they get popular they get banned.
And then new ones come out again.
He is definitely taking something. Maybe even did a cycle or 2 in the winter of the hardcore steroids and if he stopped juicing about a month ago he will be pissing clean by now
so as long as he is eating a lot of protein and staying in the gym he will be able to maintain it.

If Ortiz does have a good or even decent season it is going to be brutal with the PED rumors. Im close to Beantown and already we have to listen to EEI talk about him and roid accusations all day. its ridic

One thing Big Sloppy does that helps him is he always keeps a few extra pounds on him.
He's never showed up straight jacked during spring training from what I can remember.
The chubby look can be deceiving and result in less accusations.

your right he is never cut up with a huge neck like bonds. He always looks a little bit big like 15 20 lbs of fat covering up. If he came to Fla for spring training ripped it would be a media feeding frenzy
