2. Bryce Harper, 2019
For all the talk about whether or not Bryce Harper is still elite, his offensive performance in 2019 wasn’t all that much different than in 2025. He got off to a relatively slow start in his first season with the team, before turning it on down the stretch for a superb August and September.
