Harper JC commit. Lean, wiry 5-foot-10, 155-pound frame. Started at second base and hit out of the leadoff spot for the Lions. High-motor, scrappy left-handed hitter, finished the day 3-for-5 with a double, three RBIs and two runs scored. Quick, direct stroke, works flat through the zone and looks to keep the ball on a line to the whole field, quick out of the box with a 4.88 on a turn. Steady, sure-handed actions on the infield, moves well laterally with some feel for the position. Arm plays accurately and on the move.
