Bryce Harper shows off awesome Independence Day bat

Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper is one of the best players in the MLB today. He also has some pretty cool designs for his bats, but he unfortunately won’t be able to use one of the coolest today.

Harper took to Instagram and showed off his awesome custom Fourth of July bat he hoped to use against the Milwaukee Brewers today. It is decorated in the most patriotic way, but he won’t be allowed to use it due to league rules.

While this bat has been banned by the MLB, Bryce Harper has never been one to avoid controversy. Whether it be illegal cleats or bat flips, he loves to be the center of attention.

Last Fourth of July, he used a custom bat to blast a home run off Madison Bumgarner.
