Bryce Harper is one powerful human being.
The Washington Nationals slugger muscled up and crushed an offering from San Diego Padres right-hander Kirby Yates into the upper deck of Nationals Park on Friday.
Harper's shot exited at 109.5 mph at a ridiculous angle of 36 degrees.
Bryce Harper just hit the baseball as high and far as I’ve ever seen anyone hit one in my life. #moonshot

Harper's big bomb was his 15th home run of the season, tying him with Mike Trout and Aaron Judge for the major-league lead.
