Major League Baseball is in a great spot when it comes to popularity and viewership from a global perspective. The game continues to grow, with some of the sport's stars showcasing themselves on the biggest stage.
The Philadelphia Phillies have their own star in first baseman Bryce Harper. After being a superstar for over a decade, Harper is at a crossroads in his career, making the 2026 season a defining one.
