Is the World Baseball Classic a Litmus Test for Bryce Harper?

Bryce Harper is leaving the Phillies... along with Kyle Schwarber and reliever Brad Keller to begin play for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic starting this week. Will a big Harper WBC performance be a springboard for an All Star 2026 season? As for the players still in Clearwater, there are a number of things to feel really good about right now, including hot starts from uber prospects Andrew Painter and Justin Crawford, and veterans Bryson Stott and Cristopher Sanchez. On Episode 1048 of Hittin' Season, hosts John Stolnis, Justin Klugh and Liz Roscher discuss all that and much more, powered by WHYY!
