A Superstar in the Making: Bryce Harper has been one of baseball’s premier hitters since his rookie debut in 2012. Although he recently underwent surgery and temporarily shifted to a DH-only role, he’s now back and ready to make an impact at first base. Harper is a formidable force against right-handed pitching, boasting a .296/.401/.413 slash line this season.

Clashing with Righties: Harper has demonstrated his prowess against righties, launching three of his five home runs and drawing an impressive 32 walks against them. Facing Quinn Priester should provide him with the opportunity to unleash his full offensive potential.

He’s currently on a roll, hitting a scorching .335 with a .406 OBP, .598 SLG, and an astounding 1.004 OPS across his last 41 games. With eight steals in that span, Ramirez is not just a power hitter but also a speed demon on the bases.
