It's A Boy! Phillies Slugger Bryce Harper Uses Blue Bat To Signal Creative Baby Gender Reveal

Bryce Harper is set to take another swing at fatherhood - and he did it with a blue bat .

The Philadelphia Phillies slugger used a blue bat in his first plate appearance of Monday night's game against San Francisco as part of a gender reveal for his fourth child.

A two-time NL MVP, Harper announced in a team meeting that his family was set to grow. He later asked All-Star shortstop Trea Turner for an assist with a most unusual reveal.

Harper had ordered two custom-made bats from Victus Sports - one of the bat manufacturers that produced the torpedo bat - in pink for a girl and blue for a boy.

"He's a pretty creative guy," Turner said. "He was nice enough to ask me to do it and I thought it was a nice moment for him and his family."
