Bryce Harper uses Phillie Phanatic-themed bat at 2023 MLB Little League Classic

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Ever since Bryce Harper arrived in Philadelphia, he's worn Phillie Phanatic-themed gear. 

And on Sunday night, he carried a Phillie Phanatic-themed bat to the plate in the bottom of the first inning to face Washington Nationals pitcher Trevor Williams in the 2023 MLB Little League Classic in Williamsport. 

Back in 2021, Harper wore Phillie Phanatic cleats on Opening Day at Citizens Bank Park. He's also made the Phillie Phanatic headband iconic during his time in Philadelphia. 

And Harper isn't the only Phillies player with a themed bat on Sunday's game. 

Victus Sports, a professionally approved wood bat supplier, provided the bats to both the Phillies and Nationals for the Little League Classic. 

Phillies' second baseman Bryson Stott had a No. 2 pencil bat, while outfielder Brandon Marsh had a Caveman Bathead for the game. 

Earlier in the day, the Phillies took in the action at Williamsport and watched Media, Pa. fall to Rhode Island in the LLWS elimination bracket. 

Harper caught up with the Media team after the game to give advice to the Delco Little Leaguers.
