Harper chosen No. 1 in draft by Nationals at MLB Network
The Nationals picked Bryce Harper with the top selection as Bud Selig announced him as an outfielder at the draft site. Mike Rizzo cited Harper's potential as a No. 3-type power hitter with a strong right arm, easing the catcher duties to focus on the offense. Harper hit .443 with 31 homers in his first college season in a wood bat league and bypassed two high school years with a GED.
