Harper hit two home runs of at least 440 feet in the same game.<\/p>\n<p>According to MLB.com, that&#8217;s a first for this season. It&#8217;s also the first time it has happened for the Phillies since Statcast began tracking in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>The two home runs were actually his two furthest since 2023.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Harper&#8217;s first went exactly 440 feet to right-center field in the sixth inning.<\/p>\n<p>Then in the seventh, he hit one even further the same direction, 448 feet.<\/p>\n<p>The Phillies hit four home runs total in a 12-7 win over the Mariners. They had a season-high 21 hits, and every Phillies starter had at least one hit before the third inning for the first time since 1963, per MLB.com.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Harper has mostly lived up to the hype from his days long ago as a No. 1 overall draft pick.<\/p>\n<p>He had some injury woes for a stretch, but when he&#8217;s been on the field, he&#8217;s always been pretty darn special.<\/p>\n<p>As his career has gone on, it&#8217;s been easier to take it for granted. Harper&#8217;s excellence is occasionally loud but is also often consistent.<\/p>\n<p>On this Monday night, though, he showed off his full potency in the form of two magnificent home runs.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, Bryce Harper is still pretty darn special.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bryce was swinging it on Monday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":79998,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-79997","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 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Phillies&#039; superstar Bryce Harper is leading the way in MLB this season, boasting an impressive record with his prodigious home run feat!
