Harper hit a home run in his first game back after Krew's birth in 2019. The new dad went 1-for-5 in a walk-off win, hitting a solo dinger that sparked a Philadelphia rally. Perhaps Brooklyn's arrival can spark a return to the playoffs for the Phillies in 2021.

Harper hit 13 home runs in 58 games with Philadelphia in 2020, posting a .962 OPS. The Phillies struggled despite Harper's production, finishing third in the National League East at 28–32. They enter 2021 sporting a nine-year playoff drought.
