Bryce Harper’s Dark Eye Bags Spark Fan Concern Amid Coffee Tutorials

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper has sparked a social media frenzy after fans noticed dark bags under his eyes in recent videos where he shared his favorite iced vanilla latte recipe. The 32-year-old outfielder, fresh off another National League All-Star season, has been using his offseason downtime to connect with fans through coffee tutorials, but the focus quickly shifted to his apparent exhaustion.

In a video posted earlier this week, Harper walked fans through his latte-making process, detailing his preferred coffee beans and machine. However, the MLB‘s re-post of the clip on social media drew more attention to Harper’s tired appearance than his barista skills. One fan quipped, ‘Dude looks like he got bit in a zombie movie,’ while others urged him to get more sleep. ‘Has he not slept in weeks?’ one commenter asked.

Harper’s fatigue was equally noticeable in a follow-up video where he demonstrated how to make banana bread. Fans flooded the comments section with concern, with one writing, ‘His eyes say he definitely needs that coffee!’ Others joked that Harper might be overdoing it with his own recipe. ‘We can tell bro ain’t been sleeping; he might need to lay off the coffee,’ one fan suggested.

The MLB humorously dubbed Harper a ‘coffee influencer,’ but the star’s appearance has raised questions about his offseason routine. Harper, a father of three, has not publicly addressed the comments about his tired look. Fans speculated that his exhaustion could be linked to balancing family life and preparing for the upcoming MLB season.

Despite the concern, Harper’s coffee tutorials have been a hit. One fan praised his latte recipe, calling it ‘the most delicious-looking vanilla latte,’ while another joked about the high-end ingredients, saying, ‘This latte definitely just called me poor.’ The videos have even sparked rumors that Harper might launch his own coffee brand, with fans suggesting names like ‘B3aned Up.’

As the Phillies gear up for the 2025 season, Harper’s health and energy levels will undoubtedly be a topic of discussion. For now, fans are hoping their star player gets some much-needed rest before returning to the field.
