Harper’s swing is still a work in progress. “There’s not a whole lot of slug there,” manager Rob Thomson says. “But it’s going to be there.”

The eight-time All Star and two-time National League MVP went 2-for-5 with a home run in the Phillies’ 11-9 loss to the Diamondbacks.

The 32-year-old future Hall of Famer is batting .234 with a .786 OPS, a 119 OPS+, six home runs, 17 RBIs, and 26 walks to 31 strikeouts through his first 128 at-bats. These are fine numbers for the average player, but Harper is a different story entirely.
