Watch: Harper's home run nearly flies out of PNC Park

Charles LeClaire / USA TODAY Sports

Bryce Harper has now homered in every National League venue, and he completed the PNC Park stop of his Long Dong Tour in unbelievable fashion, hitting a line-drive no-doubter off of unwitting Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Wade LeBlanc.

There are many genres of no-doubter, such as the "majestic arcing fly ball" and the "bat flip and admire." But Harper opted for arguably the best kind: a line-drive screamer where the opposing outfielders never even move from their positions. Usually an outfielder at least humors the home crowd by making an effort to catch the ball. Not John Jaso, though - he's resigned to just staying put.

Harper's bomb was the fourth-hardest hit homer of the Statcast era and came remarkably close to leaving the ballpark altogether.
