- Bryce Harper gave a big help to a high school student named Jake
- Interestingly, Jake’s date gave Harper a hug before he did!
Phillies star Bryce Harper made a surprise appearance at a recent proposal, leaving one fan stunned in the process.
Harper was captured in video walking to the door with a high school student named Jake Portello, a senior at Haddonfield Memorial High School, before her hopeful date walked out to see the MLB player in front of her.
Harper exclaimed ‘Hello Julia!’ to the girl before she immediately responds, “I’m going to cry.”
The teen then covered her mouth with her hands in shock as Harper says, ‘Jake wants to ask you to the prom…’ on her classmate’s behalf.
Julia was still speechless before Harper asked again, “So, you’re going to prom with him?”
