(Grace Del Pizzo\/Phillies Nation)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Bryce Harper brought the boom in a home run derby that\u2019s already exploded online.<\/p>\n<p>Harper, the Phillies superstar and two-time National League MVP, participated in a fun offseason moment as he battled social media sensation \u201cBig Justice\u201d in a head-to-head batting competition with a $100,000 prize on the \u201cMrBeast\u201d YouTube channel. The video included one-on-one matchups between non-athletes and sports superstars like Harper, seven-time Super Bowl champion quarterback Tom Brady, Olympic gold medalist and world-champion sprinter Noah Lyles, two-time major-winning golfer Bryson DeChambeau and perhaps the greatest soccer player of all time in Cristiano Ronaldo.<\/p>\n<figure><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Beat Ronaldo, Win $1,000,000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0BjlBnfHcHM?start=342&amp;feature=oembed\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n<p>Facing off in a 10-swing, swing-off-style home run derby at First Horizon Park in Nashville, Tenn., the baseball segment of the video was a high-profile showdown. Harper has been one of the most recognizable faces in the sport since he was a teenager, and the 11-year-old Big Justice has emerged as one of the internet\u2019s breakout stars this year.<\/p>\n<p>He and his father, A.J. Befumo, have amassed over 2.4 million followers on their \u201cA.J. &amp; Big Justice\u201d TikTok profile, creating videos with a focus on food reviews using \u201cbooms\u201d or \u201cdooms\u201d to rate each item, discussing Costco chicken bakes and \u201cdouble chunk chocolate cookies\u201d and simply \u201cbringing the boom.\u201d The duo\u2019s song \u201cWe Bring the BOOM!\u201d has gone viral as well, with its remix featuring a verse from their frequent collaborator \u201cThe Rizzler\u201d reaching over 1.2 million YouTube views.<\/p>\n<p>If that all sounds ridiculous, it\u2019s because it is. But this type of content has blown up online, leading to tons of success and exposure for A.J. and Big Justice. They recently appeared on \u201cThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon\u201d and worked a professional wrestling gig with All Elite Wrestling. Their newfound fame also led to Big Justice, a youth player for the Boca Beach Boys team in Boca Raton, Fl., taking on Harper in the home run derby.<\/p>\n<p>Harper brought the boom with four home runs in 10 swings, but ultimately surrendered a doom to Big Justice, who hit five home runs over a 201.5-foot fence used to even the playing field between the two. Harper seemed to be into the fun and absurdity of it all. \u201cBring that boom, baby!\u201d he yelled to the young right-handed hitter at one point in between swings.<\/p>\n<p>Big Justice launched his fifth home run on his ninth swing to win the prize money \u2014 the money would\u2019ve been donated to a charity of Harper\u2019s choosing if he had beaten Big Justice \u2014 and the TikTok star fired his bat in celebration. He rounded the bases before being greeted at home plate by A.J., \u201cMomma Justice,\u201d and his sister, Ashley.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1862920015009272203&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.philliesnation.com%2F2024%2F12%2Fphiladelphia-phillies-big-justice-home-run-derby-aj-tiktok-mrbeast-youtube-video-viral-bring-the-boom%2F&amp;sessionId=08c1cc21386d8a20ac436689209572c45fc70854&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1862920015009272203\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The video featuring Harper and the other titanic sports figures took off after it was uploaded on Saturday, quickly becoming the top trending video on YouTube with over 36 million views and counting.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"article-ad\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pixel.watch\/f18y\" alt=\"Bryce Harper competes in $100,000 home run derby with TikTok star Big Justice in viral video: \u2018Bring that boom, baby!\u2019\" width=\"0\" height=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read -Bryce Harper competes in $100,000 home run derby with TikTok star Big Justice in viral video: &#8216;Bring that boom, baby!&#8217; &#8211; and more Phillies news and rumors at PhilliesNation.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":14267,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14264","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
