WASHINGTON (AP) – Bryce Harper called this shot.

The Washington Nationals slugger known for launching long home runs thrilled a fan Tuesday night, gesturing for her cellphone, snapping a playful selfie and then tossing it back into the stands.

The popular Harper took the picture in right field before Washington took on the Toronto Blue Jays in the second game of a day-night doubleheader.

“It was pretty good,” Harper told The Associated Press when he saw the photo after the game. “Just messing around a little bit with the fans. Enjoying it with them a little bit. It’s always fun.”

The 22-year-old All-Star outfielder was looking at a group of fans taking pictures of him from the seats over the fence when he noticed Jamie Roach in the scrum.
