Watch: Bryce Harper pulls off improbable feat

Bryce Harper just can’t miss right now.

Since April 16, Harper has hit four home runs, batted .483 and slugged exactly 1.000. All of this came with a semi-reasonable .476 BABIP. He entered the day with a 1.2 fWAR, which Phillies Nation’s Tim Kelly noted is fifth in baseball.
