John Smoltz pulled a Tony Romo on Bryce Harper’s electrifying Game 3 HR and MLB fans were in awe

Bryce Harper’s first-inning home run in Game 3 of the World Series was electrifying in so many ways, as the Philadelphia Phillies slugger took the first pitch he saw from Lance McCullers Jr. and sent it flying.

We’re here to talk about what happened BEFORE that dinger (and no, it’s not about McCullers maybe tipping his pitches, although that might have helped?).

John Smoltz, who was on the mic a FOX analyst, noted that he wouldn’t be shocked if Harper would be sitting on a breaking ball early in the at-bat and would swing hard. And if Harper saw one down the middle? Look out.

That’s exactly what happened. TONY ROMO-ESQUE!

Everyone was in awe
