As a result, the Washington Nationals outfielder will wear Under Armour cleats and apparel during games and will be featured in various in-store and advertising promotional campaigns.
Bryce Harper was the first player selected in the 2010 Major League Baseball Draft, but has yet to make his Major League debut.
Under Armour's senior vice-president for sports marketing, Matt Mirchin, said on announcing the new deal: "While Bryce Harper's raw talent is impressive, it is his hunger for greatness and his commitment to training that have put him on a trajectory for great success. Bryce is an electrifying athlete, and we look forward to partnering with him as he begins his professional career and as he helps carry the torch for the next generation of Under Armour athletes."
