Bryce Harper Visits Reston Before Home Run Derby (Photos)

RESTON, VA -- Hours before he would electrify the nation with a thrilling Home Run Derby victory in front of his home crowd at Nats Park, Nationals superstar Bryce Harper was in Reston to dedicate a new baseball complex named after him.

On Monday afternoon, Harper dedicated the Bryce Harper All-Star Complex at 2801 Fox Mill Road, which has two totally renovated fields. You can watch video of the dedication ceremony here.

He also gave the local kids in attendance a sneak peak at the American flag cleats he would debut at the Home Run Derby later.
