San Francisco Giants starter Kyle Harrison pitched six innings Friday, giving up six hits and two earned runs, but he didn't walk a batter and struck out five on the way to earning a win in his first start of the 2024 season. Harrison threw 54 of his 76 pitches for strikes, which was great to see from someone who is known for his strikeout ability but also for some command issues during his time in the minor leagues. Two of the hits were home runs (Machado, Tatis) and he gave up eight long balls last season in 34 2/3 IP at the major league level, which makes limiting the walks all that more important going forward. The southpaw likely gets the Dodgers next.
San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Kyle Harrison was dominant in Thursdays Cactus League outing against the Los Angeles Dodgers. His outing was cut short due to rain, but the left-hander went 2 2/3 innings and allowed two hits, zero runs, two walks and struck out six. The highly touted 22-year-old made his big-league debut this past season and had mixed results with a 4.15 ERA to go along with a 1.15 WHIP and 35 strikeouts over 34 2/3 innings. Harrison has always been a strikeout artist and developed a new cutter this offseason that is already looking dangerous early on in spring. Harrison is going to break camp with the Giants barring something unforeseen and offers plenty of upside with an ADP of 246.
San Francisco Giants top prospect Kyle Harrison debuted a new cutter during his Cactus League outing on Sunday against the Texas Rangers. The 22-year-old left-hander struck out four and hit a batter while not allowing a hit in two scoreless innings. Harrison began to develop his cutter last year but has been using it more, and it should become a bigger part of his repertoire heading into his first full season in San Francisco's starting rotation. Before adding a cutter, Harrison was a fastball, slider, and changeup pitcher. In his first seven MLB starts in 2023, he had a 4.15 ERA and 1.15 WHIP with 35 K's and 11 walks in 34 2/3 innings. His fly-ball tendencies should be mitigated by his pitcher-friendly home park in San Fran, and a big jump is expected from Harrison in 2024, although a likely innings limit could cap his fantasy upside.

Kyle Harrison made his major league debut for the San Francisco Giants in 2023, making seven starts and finishing with a 1-1 record, 35 strikeouts, a 4.15 ERA, and 1.15 WHIP in 34.2 innings. The 22-year-old's first taste of big-league action produced some mixed results. Harrison's four-seam fastball generated an 11.5 SwStr% and .182 batting average upon its introduction to MLB hitters but opponents slugged .556 against his other pitches. His 7.5 BB% beat the league average, but it was likely a product of the small sample size and leaves room for regression toward his minor league career mark of 12.3%. The lack of an effective secondary pitch and the control issues will hurt his ratios but he should still be able to rack up a strikeout per inning. Still technically a rookie, Harrison will start the season in the Giants' rotation and he should have decent job security due to the team's lack of depth. RotoBaller's 246 ranking for Harrison and his current 277.94 ADP demonstrate restrained expectations for the young southpaw. Harrison's shortcomings will limit his fantasy viability in 2024 but taking a shot on him in the last rounds of a draft carries little risk given the inherent potential of a franchise's top pitching prospect.
