In a recent interview with Kristin Cavallari, Harper made a comment acknowledging he is getting towards the end of his career.

Cavallari: “Bryce, when you do have a game like last night, how are you after a game? Are you able to shake it off pretty easily? And then Kayla, I’m also curious how you handle that, too.”

Harper: “I feel like sometimes you’re in a rut. I think there’s times where your career goes good and you’re feeling great and you have a great two months, and then baseball kind of humbles you a little bit. It’s one of the most humbling games that you could play. I’m in a rut right now. I have been for the last month. That’s a tough place to be. But I think as I’ve gotten older in my career, obviously when I was younger it was very tough for me… I’m quiet anyways. I’m more quiet than anything. But I think as you get older and you figure out like, I only have five or six years left to play.”
