Its the kind of play where if a hostile Washington crowd was allowed presence, even they would have had to give some credit to their teams former star for what he pulled off.
Its always good to manage a terrific play against a previous team, even if the player voluntarily left the franchise for what he thought were greener pastures, and hes over a complete season eliminated from last suiting up for them. Regardless, it certainly needs to have felt good for Bryce Harper to manage a technique play versus the Washington Nationals in Thursdays video game.
Luis Garcia singled to Harpers location in right field. The Nats player took a couple of steps toward 2nd base, most likely since of the casual nature with which the Phillies star got the ball. What Garcia didnt understand is that Harper was participated in the play the entire time and the instant he saw a degree of daytime, he introduced a throw towards first base, and was able to get the ball to Rhys Hoskins in time to tag Garcia out..
Harper bet the Nationals from 2012 up until 2018. Prior to the 2019 season, he signed a $330 million, 13-year contract, the largest in baseball history at the time it was signed. That very same season, the Nationals won the World Series.
