Bryce Harper does runway walk with model Nina Agdal in New Era ad
It ain’t bad to be Bryce Harper these days. He’s having a breakout season as one of the best hitters in baseball. His team, the Washington Nationals, is in first place now after a slow start. He’s leading the NL All-Star vote. And now he’s starring alongside Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Nina Agdal in a new New Era cap ad.
In the commercial, Harper gets to show off his acting chops a bit. Agdal want to “play him” for his New Era All-Star cap and the two of them compete in activities like blowing bubbles, playing chess and — our favorite part — walking the runway.

He seems like a natural, doesn’t he?
How does Harper compare to an other famous male model? Let’s compare.
Kidding aside, Harper does pretty well in his little acting gig. Athletes sometimes come off as stiff and lifeless in commercials like these. Harper, of course, has been in the spotlight since he was a teenager, so that probably helps.
We don’t expect Bryce to start making movies in the offseason, but maybe he’d be good for an “Entourage” cameo if they make a sequel.
