Kyle Harrison Fans Nine Consecutive Batters In Latest Start
2 years agoSan Francisco Giants pitching prospect Kyle Harrison, 20, is a talented southpaw who was selected in the third round of the shortened 2020 MLB Draft. One of the draft's most impressive prep pitching prospects, Harrison signed a well-over-slot $2.5 million deal and has since given the Giants plenty of reason to be optimistic about his future. He has historically sat around the mid-90s with his fastball, though it was clocked at 98 mph more recently. He also throws a deceiving changeup and a sharp slider with good horizontal break. He has solid command and has done a good job striking out opponents, though there should be some concern about his walk rate. Harrison had a phenomenal outing against the Bowie Baysox this past week. After walking the first batter he faced, the hurler went on to strike out each of his next nine batters in order. When all was said and done, Harrison's line boasted zero hits, zero runs, one walk, and a whopping nine strikeouts through three frames.
