The Harper family just grew by one. Bryce Harper and his wife, Kayla, welcomed their second child, Brooklyn Elizabeth Harper, according to a post on Harper¡¯s Instagram account.

The couple¡¯s first child, a son named Krew Aron, was born on Aug. 22, 2019. In Harper¡¯s first game as a father, on Aug. 26, he homered in the eighth inning to bring the Phillies within one run. Philly went on to win the game in extras. We saw the ¡°Dad Strength¡± phenomenon on display in the '20 season from other players, including Mike Trout, who homered in his first at-bat as a father.

We¡¯ll see what Opening Day has in store for Harper in his first game as a dad of two. Harper has five career Opening Day home runs, tied with Albert Pujols for the most among active players.
