Outfielder Bryce Harper, the top pick in 2010 draft, will make his Major League Baseball debut tomorrow, when the Washington Nationals, visit the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Harper, 19, joins Washington pitcher Stephen Strasburg, the No. 1 pick in the 2009 draft in the competition between the national government League East and West leading Dodgers and first to be televised on the MLB Network.
Harper was .250 with one blink of circulation for Triple-A Syracuse. He will replace third baseman Ryan Zimmerman, who is held in a 15-day disabled list on citizens' list.
Triple-A Syracuse Chiefs manager Tony Beasley gave a report on the Harper League call-up to the player.
"He was stunned," said Beasley MEAT sports network. "I do not think he knew how to report. Bryce is a little embarrassed words. That kind of took it all in. He was very enthusiastic and humble."
Beasley said that Harper offered some advice about the culture of playing major league ball.
"I tried to prepare him as best I could, you could see what they are facing in the upper stage," said Beasley. "He will play hard and be competitive."
Strasburg, 23, is 2-0 with a 1.08 earned run average, fourth in the National League. In four starts, he joined 25 innings, making three runs on 17 hits and crossing out 25, walked six.
