Washington Nationals: Bryce Harper electrifies crowd in Home Run Derby

Bryce Harper was the star of the show in the Washington Nationals’ backyard in the Home Run Derby. He was blasting baseballs unspeakable distances all night and took the crown in an electrifying night at Nats Park.

Although in the grand scheme of things, it is just a novelty event, the atmosphere and the way Harper smoked ball after ball was incredible. It was quite possibly one of the best nights in Nats Park history.

He started off the night by showcasing his D.C. flag headband during the player introductions.

In the first round, he took on public enemy number one, Freddie Freeman.
