VIDEO: Harper launches longest HR of career
Evan Habeeb / USA TODAY Sports
Bryce Harper didn't swing at any of the 20 pitches he saw in a 15-1 rout of the Atlanta Braves on Thursday night, but he was much more aggressive in his first plate appearance Friday.
The Washington Nationals outfielder exploded on a Julio Teheran offering in the first inning, sending a moonshot into the second deck for the longest homer of his career at an estimated 453 feet.
