Kyle Harrison (SF Giants) AGE: 22 | 2023: 1-1, 4.15 ERA, 1.15 WHIP |
Kyle Harrison possesses a solid athletic build with long arms and legs in proportion to his height, leaving some space for further development. He has a smooth and effortless delivery from a mid to low 3/4’s arm slot. He is very athletic and coordinated on the mound and has a loose and clean arm action that conceals the ball exceptionally well in his turn. Harrison throws a low 90s fastball, reaching a maximum of 93.6 mph, which generates late running life to the inside of left-handed hitters, often resulting in broken bats. His tight slurve-like breaking ball (82.3 MPH) works well with his fastball and creates weak swings from batters. He also has a nice change-up (86.6 MPH) with some sink on it. Kyle had 105 strikeouts in 65.2 innings while playing for AAA last season.
After joining the big club, he pitched for 34.2 innings and recorded 35 strikeouts while restricting the opposing hitters to a .220 batting average. According to MLB Pipeline, Harrison is the 23rd-best prospect out of the top 100. He is the SP2 on the Giants depth chart. In 2023, Oracle Park was ranked 10th in the fewest runs scored. Consider picking him in the late rounds.
