| Summary: Harris attacks hitters with a strong, quick arm and a fastball that carries well at the top of the zone. He’s consistently worked in the 91–95 range with the ability to miss barrels when elevated. His calling card is a tightly spun breaking ball—routinely 2,700+ rpm—that he can manipulate between downer depth and a firmer two-plane look. That breaker has shown real swing-and-miss traits across multiple outings, including a 50%+ miss rate at major events. The changeup flashes good fade in the mid-80s and gives him a third look, though the command comes and goes. The delivery has some aggression and effort from a 3/4 slot, but he repeats well enough to project strikes and maintain his stuff. He’s shown a sturdy build and the ability to hold velocity deep into his appearances, with scattered notes pointing to either a slider or curveball as the primary breaker depending on the slot and shape on a given day. With a lively fastball, a true bat-misser for a breaking ball, and a developing changeup, Harris fits the mold of a starter with upside—one whose breaking ball already grades as a separator in the 2026 class. | |||||||||||
