Bryce Harper was hitting .214 in mid-July when Kevin Frandsen, his retired former teammate, went on radio station 106.7 The Fan and proclaimed the Nationals slugger would have a big second half.
Frandsen, who has done work with Phillies radio, was proven correct.
After posting a pedestrian .235 in July, Harper batted .324 in August and was hitting .381 this month in games through Saturday.
While his home run ratio has actually fallen off, the Nationals outfielder is on track to post the best numbers of his career outside of his MVP year of 2015.
