WATCH: Bryce Harper puts on batting gloves, crushes 3-run homer after coming up short in first at-bat

Bryce Harper hit his eighth homer of this young season, sending a three-run jack over the outfield wall in the bottom of the fifth inning. This came after he made solid contact in the third inning, but came up short for a flyout.

What was the difference for Bryce Harper the second time around? Batting gloves:

How about that from Bryce? He identified an issue, made a change, and executed his plan to perfection.

In a sport like baseball, where really anything can happen at any point, that’s rare. But Harper is such a special player that he is inevitable.

Oh, what, Trea Turner is out? That’s fine, I’ll hit a three-run nuke and win us the game. What’s everybody so worked up about?

Sure, the Phillies talisman went 1/4 at the dish today, but when your one hit is the go-ahead home run, there’s not much else you can ask for.

No lights are too bright. No stage is too big. He will impose his will as he pleases.
