School: Florida State Drafted/Committed: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 21.2

Harrelson had an excellent freshman season at Texas Tech and a more modest sophomore year. He transferred to Florida State for the 2025 season, where he immediately became the team’s everyday right fielder and leadoff hitter. A 6-foot-3, 180-pound lefthanded hitter, Harrelson slashed .339/.444/.462 with 15 stolen bases and a career-low 21.2% strikeout rate. He doesn’t have prototypical power for a corner profile, even if he can sting 100+ mph line drives at times. His swing is short and he can get on top of pitches at the top of the zone, but he also has more swing-and-miss tendencies than you’d like for a contact-oriented hitter. His plus speed may be enough to earn him a chance to play center field at least on a part-time basis in pro ball.

A 6-foot-3, 180-pound outfielder with plenty of projection remaining on his frame and a solid set of tools, Harrelson’s upside potential is exciting. He’s turned in plus-plus run times in high school and even after filling out his frame and getting bigger should be a plus runner who can stay in center field in the long run and be an above-average defender there. On top of that, he should grow into average raw power. While he has a long track record of hitting throughout his high school and travel ball career, there are questions about Harrelson’s pure hitting ability and how his swing will play against college and pro pitching. It’s a funky swing that gets a bit stiff and rigid at times, though Harrelson does swing with plenty of bat speed. Because scouts think he might be a below-average hitter, he could wind up on campus at Texas Tech, where his athleticism and up-the-middle defense should be an asset starting on day one.
