Bryce Harper Searching For First Extra-Base Hit
4 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper is off to a somewhat quiet start to the 2021 season, despite the team's 4-1 start. Harper has walked at least once in each game, which has led to a remarkable on-base percentage of .455. However, outside of his walks, he's gone just 3-for-15 with no extra-base hits. The underlying numbers don't provide any cause for concern. Over his 11 batted balls so far this year, he's registered two barrels as well as a sturdy hard-hit rate of 54.5%, up from his career-best clip of 50.7% last year. Fantasy managers with Harper on their roster should rest assured. The power numbers should start to accumulate soon.
