Watch: Bryce Harper Makes Phillies Debut in Spring Training Game vs. Blue Jays

For the first time in 2019, Bryce Harper took the field as a member of the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday.

Harper made his highly anticipated Grapefruit League debut for the Phillies against the Blue Jays, hitting third and serving as the team's designated hitter in his first action of the spring.

Harper made a good first impression on Phillies fans by choosing the "Fresh Prince" theme as his walkup song.

Harper walked twice during his short time on the field, scoring on a Rhys Hoskins’ two-run blast in the first inning before being lifted for a pinch-runner in the third.
