Patrick Zeng @Roundtripper891 NBC Sports This is not the first you've heard of Bryce Harper and Mike Trout, and it certainly won't be the last. But every so often we all need a reminder of the what we are actually watching. Last night was a stark reminder of the incredible nature of both these players as their careers continue to and forever will be linked to each other. On a first pitch breaking ball from Miami's Odrisamer Despaigne, Bryce Harper destroyed his 29th home run of the season and 150th of his career. In doing so he became the third fastest active player to 150 dingers in terms of games played. Harper reaches the milestone in his age 24 season, becoming the 14th player in baseball history to do so. He joins an elite list that includes the names of Eddie Matthews, Jimmie Fox, Alex Rodriguez and current stars such as Giancarlo Stanton, Albert Pujols and Mike Trout.

Goldschmidt is hitting .313 with a .430 on base, 20 home runs, 67 RBIs and has even added 13 stolen bases to his stat line. Bryce Harper, Charlie Blackmon and the Dodgers' Cody Bellinger are all decent shouts, but Goldy is a beast and right now he should be on track to take home his first NL MVP. NL CY Young- Max Scher...

By Patrick Zeng @Roundtripper891 📸: Sporting News The 2017 season has seen a changing of the guard when it comes to baseball's dominant ace. DC's coup in the winter of 2014 when Max Scherzer was acquired has been nothing short of marvelous for Nationals. Scherzer has stared in his two plus seasons in the nation's capital compiling 43 wins and a 2.71 era. Whenever pitching and dominance are referenced in today's game, Clayton Kershaw is automatically the first thought. And over their careers, Kershaw will be viewed as the better pitcher in comparison to Scherzer but the 2017 season has been writing a different narrative. Both ace's play for two of the National League's best teams, toeing the rubber as each club's stopper, star and ace. But a dive into the numbers show that this year, Scherzer is baseball's best, not Kershaw.  Coming off a Cy Young season, Scherzer boasts the top ERA in baseball with a 2.06 mark in comparison to Kershaw's  2...
