They don't call Bryce Harper "The Showman" for nothing.
Kyle Schwarber gave the Phillies an early 2-0 lead over the Boston Red Sox with a bottom of the first inning bomb off of Lucas Giolito Wednesday evening:

The next pitch that Giolito threw, Bryce Harper hit 439 feet, a second-deck blast that was the 350th home run in the two-time NL MVP's career:
No. 350 for Bryce Harper is a bomb! 💣

Harper's 350th career homer comes nearly two years after his 300th, which he launched on Aug. 30, 2023 against the Los Angeles Angels.
It's long been assumed that Harper will finish his career with at least 500 home runs. The 2020 season getting shortened to 60 games because of the COVID-19 pandemic and a series of injuries in recent years — including right wrist inflammation that cost him most of June this season — have slowed down his home run pace. But to be at 350 home runs in your age-32 season is still a really good spot, especially when you're signed for six more seasons after this one.
Harper's 350 home runs are eighth among active players, and only one behind Aaron Judge. Judge's teammate, Giancarlo Stanton, is the active leader with 434 homers in his career.
