Harper keeps raising the bar as Majors star
3/20/16: Bryce Harper hits his first home run of Spring Training, a shot to right field off of Justin VerlanderLAKELAND, Fla. -- Bryce Harper's second home run on Sunday afternoon was a breathtaking thing, towering far over the center-field wall, landing amid a construction zone. Surely most Major League players don't hit baseballs this far in their dreams.
Nationals manager Dusty Baker called it "as long of a home run as I've seen." As Harper rounded the bases, Baker's new pitching coach, Mike Maddux, asked, "We get to watch this every day?"
"It's gonna be fun," Baker told him.
