Harrison pitched exclusively out of the bullpen in his four-year career at UCLA and had his best season this spring, posting a 1.38 ERA with 37 strikeouts and eight walks in 26 innings. Despite his bullpen-only history, Harrison has shown enough traits for teams to think he can start. His fastball sits 92-93 mph and touches 95-96 with crisp command in the strike zone. His wipeout, mid-80s slider is plus pitch with late sharpness that generates foolish swings from righthanded hitters. He also has a potentially average changeup with heavy run and a fringy curveball he can flip in for a strike. Harrison commands his entire arsenal and gets through innings quickly. He has a good delivery and arm action, leading to the belief he can start with his four-pitch mix and above-average control. Harrison still has to prove he can hold his stuff over longer outings. He projects to be a solid, low to mid-leverage reliever even if starting doesn’t work out.
