second chance tonight at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. at Westmoore High School.

Who’s Bryce Harper?  Well, according to Sports Illustrated, he’s “The LeBron James of Baseball.” SI put him on its cover last week, and he and his father are in Oklahoma City for a few days while the Las Vegas native plays for the Westmoore summer league team. In Tom Verducci’s SI profile, one scout said Harper could have gone as high as No. 2 in yesterday’s MLB Draft.

In his debut Monday night, he went 6 for 6 with a pair of home runs, a triple and a stolen base. Oh, and he unleashed his 96 mph fastball to strike out the side in his only inning of relief during the doubleheader’s nightcap.
