Hayden Harris Promoted To Triple-A
Atlanta Braves relief pitching prospect Hayden Harris is being promoted to Triple-A Gwinnett, according to MiLB Central. Harris has progressed through the Braves system very quickly and is now just one stop away from the major leagues. The 25-year-old began last season in Single-A Augusta and eventually finished the season with Double-A Mississippi. After posting a poor 9.72 ERA in Single-A, the southpaw improved as the season progressed and was able to post a strong 2.83 ERA,1.26 WHIP, and a 17:50 BB:K ratio in 35 frames at Double-A. He opened the 2024 season at Double-A and built off that momentum with a stellar 1.74 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and a 9:34 BB:K ratio in 20 innings. He allowed just one earned run through the first two months of the campaign with 29 total punchouts. Even though he struggled through June, the Braves believe Harris is ready for the top level of the minors. He is a name to keep a close eye on in NL-only formats, as he could provide a strong source of holds if he joins the major league roster later this summer.
