Bryce Harper family: Phillies star reveals gender of fourth child with blue bat vs. Giants

Bryce Harper and his wife are expecting their fourth child, but he didn’t know the gender of their new baby until Monday night.

Instead of a gender reveal party, Harper discovered the gender of his new child in a more creative and fitting way: by the color of a baseball bat.

During Monday night’s game against the Giants, Phillies shortstop Trea Turner gave Harper a blue bat to use in the first inning, a signal that he and his wife are having a boy.

Amazingly, this isn’t even the first time a Phillies player has done a gender reveal this season. Earlier this month, Bryson Stott helped reveal the gender of a fan’s baby by wearing a pink armband to the plate in a game.

While the previous gender reveal was for someone at home, the latest iteration was more personal for the Phillies’ best player.
