Bryce Harper‘s first hit as a member of the Philadelphia Phillies was a home run.
Harper hit a 1-1 pitch from Atlanta reliever Jesse Biddle into the right-field seats for a solo homer in the bottom of the seventh inning on Saturday, extending the Philllies’ lead to 7-4.
The ball traveled 465 feet — Harper’s second longest since Statcast started tracking home run distances in 2015.
While with the Nationals, he hit a 473-foot shot on May 4, 2018 against the Phillies.
Harper now has eight home runs of 450 feet or longer since 2015, tied for the seventh-most in the majors.
In his Phillies debut on Thursday, Harper went 0-for-3 with a walk, and on Saturday he had gone 0-for-2 with a walk before his homer.
