Track Record: Harris spent three seasons at High Point before transferring to UNC Pembroke for his final two college years. After going undrafted, he moved to the Coastal Plain League, where earned pitcher of the year honors in 2023. The Giants signed him as a free agent, and in 2024 he was one of four pitchers in all the minors to strike out 100 or more hitters in fewer than 100 innings without making a single start. He reached Double-A for a season-ending cameo.
Scouting Report: Harris works with a four-pitch mix fronted by a nasty cut-ride fastball in the mid 90s. The pitch plays up because of his higher slot, the more than 6.5 feet of extension in his delivery and the average of 18 inches of induced vertical break. He backs it up with a pair of breaking balls he deployed with near-equal frequency. His curveball sat in the high 70s and the slider ran a few ticks hotter. He also worked in the occasional split-change in the mid 80s. The fastball-curveball combo gives him an effective north-south attack, while the slider adds a weapon with an east-west wrinkle. He pounded the zone at both Class A affiliates and should have above-average control
The Future: The Giants would like to see if Harris can hold down a starting or multi-inning relief role, and he may get more of those types of outings in 2025. If he succeeds, he could be a big league swingman.
