Bryce Harper is within striking distance of a home run milestone

Bryce Harper will enter the 2022 season just 33 home runs away from 300 in his career.

If there’s a normal 162-game season, the reigning National League MVP could very well surpass the 300-home run mark before his 30th birthday in October.

Of course, if a new collective bargaining agreement isn’t worked out between the league and the MLB Players Association in the coming days, it’s possible that there won’t be a 162-game season in 2022.

As we wrote earlier this week, that would mark the second time in Harper’s first four seasons with the Phillies that he didn’t have a full 162-game slate of games to play.
