It still baffles me that Bryce Harper probably makes the list of most-booed players. (Someone needs to invent BooFx.) I'm not sure what he'd have to do to be a more fun player to watch, and all the rumors of jerkishness haven't added up to any big controversies. The closest he's come is the "clown question" incident, which I'd defend as an appropriate response to an objectively stupid question, especially given Harper's religious beliefs.

That said, I'd bet if you looked at the individual videos of the events that make up his +5.4 BRR, you'd see an uncharacteristic number of plays that were either large positives (snatching an extra base when he had no business doing so, like the GIF above) or large negatives (TOOTBLANs). It would be interesting to sit down with the Nationals 1B/3B coaches and hear what they think of Harper's style of play.
