PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Bryce Harper is an All-Star for the first time since 2018. Harper was named Friday as the first-ever fan-elected National League designated hitter for the 2022 MLB All-Star Game.
Harper, of course, is currently out after undergoing surgery on a fractured left thumb and won’t be able to play in the Midsummer Classic. Perhaps fellow Phillie slugger Kyle Schwarber could be an option to replace Harper this year?
Your first ever fan-elected designated hitter in the NL.
