⚾ It was strange seeing Bryce Harper stepping into the batter's box to face fellow Phillies player Ranger Suarez. NBCSPhilly
The session Tuesday was a mixture of live BP and a simulated game as Harper and Cristian Pache left the batter's box after putting the ball in play. Harper hit a ball hard to the warning track that was run down by reliever Craig Kimbrel, who was shagging balls in center field. He hit another on the ground between first and second base.
After facing Suarez, Harper quickly went back to the clubhouse to regroup before taking drills at first base for 15 minutes. Infield coach Bobby Dickerson hit him grounders and short-hops while third base coach Dusty Wathan caught Harper's underhand tosses. Harper was initially going to return as the designated hitter and fill that role until the end of 2023, but a need has arisen at first base with Rhys Hoskins out for the regular season with a torn ACL and Darick Hall out about two months after thumb surgery.
Harper has never played first base before, but he had never played the outfield prior to the Nationals drafting him and moving him there.
