“If I could catch a big league game and just be able to work with the pitcher and do that, I’d definitely do that,” said Harper, who played catcher and outfield during his one season at the College of Southern Nevada. “But if I could close one inning, in the ninth, in Game 7 of the World Series, it would be unbelievable. One of those two.”

Harper has some experience on the mound. He intimidated seniors as a freshman throwing in the low 90s at Las Vegas High and made one relief appearance in college.

Harper also discussed Daniel Murphy’s FWAHHH home run celebration, said making the postseason was the highlight of his career and shared some advice for kids:

“Play as many sports as you can and have fun doing it,” Harper said. “Enjoy the moment of every single day and never take it for granted. Enjoy doing what you do and listen to your parents, because at the end of the day, they know what’s best. And do the best you can.”

Some of that advice would also apply to Harper’s big league peers.
