Michael Harris - Ends successful minor-league seasonHarris wrapped up the 2021 minor-league campaign with a .294/.362/.436 line for High-A Rome. He hit seven home runs and went 26-for-30 on stolen bases, collecting 64 RBI and 55 run...ImpactObviously, the ability Harris showed on the bases was impressive, and his plate discipline only got stronger as the season went along -- after posting a 7:32 BB:K through May and June, he put up a 28:47 mark the rest of the way, including more walks than strikeouts in September. That can be seen as a reflection of an adjusted approach -- one that saw him seemingly stop trying to hit home runs entirely, as five of his seven long balls came in those first two months. From a fantasy perspective, it's obviously cause for some concern that Harris hasn't come close to living up to his power projections, but he's still just 20 years old and certainly doesn't have the scouting profile of a slap hitter. It'll be interesting to see how hard Atlanta pushes him next year, as he doesn't have much to prove in High-A.
