Bryce Harper (31, Philadelphia Phillies), who had no hits and 3 strikeouts during his return from injury, was completely relaxed. He was also the best player (MVP).
Philadelphia had an away game against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California on the 4th (Korean time).
On this day, Harper started as Philadelphia’s third designated hitter and got 3 hits (1 double) and 2 walks in 3 at-bats. It was a game with 3 hits and 5 on base.
Harper had a walk in his first at-bat in the first inning, a double to left field in the second inning, a hit to right field in the fourth inning, a walk to left field in the seventh inning, and a hit to left field in the ninth. The sluggishness before his comeback was completely washed away.
Although Philadelphia lost 6-10 when the mound collapsed, Harper’s performance was enough to provide comfort. This is because MVP returned in good shape and performed at his best.
Harper, who boasted an amazing sense of hitting on the second day of his return, recorded a batting average of 0.429, an on-base percentage of 0.556 and an OPS of 1.127 in two games of the season until this day.
Harper underwent Tommy John surgery last November. Return after only 6 months. Also, as already announced, Harper will start as the designated hitter three times in the away game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on the 3rd.
The recovery period for a fielder from Tommy John surgery is shorter than for a pitcher. But in Harper’s case, it’s faster than ever before. Of course, this is the final permission of the club and medical staff.크크크벳
Harper also trained defensively during the rehabilitation process. In other words, it is expected that he will appear as a designated hitter against the Los Angeles Dodgers on this day, but will soon be able to see him playing defense.
Harper, who is in his 12th year in the major leagues, recorded a batting average of 0.286, 18 home runs and 65 RBIs, and an on-base percentage of 0.364 and an OPS of 0.877 in 99 games last year.
He was also named MVP in five National League Championship Series (NLCS) games against the San Diego Padres with a batting average of 0.400 and two home runs with an OPS of 1.250.
This is a result he achieved while his elbow was uncomfortable. Now, it is noteworthy whether Harper, who has resolved the elbow problem through surgery, will show an appearance comparable to the MVP season.
