Michael Harris II Fantasy Stats

Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss might have outfielder Michael Harris II run more frequently in 2026 after the addition of new baserunning guru Antoan Richardson, according to MLB.com's Mark Bowman. Harris finished last season with exactly 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases despite entering the All-Star break with the lowest OPS in the league. "Antoan knows how important baserunning is to me," Weiss said. "It's really important to him, and he's made it important to the players." Richardson helped Juan Soto steal 38 bases last year, and the Braves could be much more aggressive on the base paths as a collective unit. The 25-year-old Harris has 79th percentile speed and figures to set a new career-high in steals in 2025 after stealing exactly 20 bags in three of his four MLB campaigns. Harris hit a career-low .249 last year, but his power/speed combination in a strong lineup makes him a low-end No. 2/high-end No. 3 fantasy outfielder as he heads into his fifth year in the majors in 2026.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II posted mixed results at the plate in 2025, but there's no denying that he delivered impressive contributions in a variety of ways. Most notably, Harris joined the 20/20 club for the first time in his career, slugging exactly 20 homers and stealing exactly 20 bases. His overall slash line wasn't as flashy, though, as he slashed .249/.268/.409. All three of those marks were the worst of his career, and the same can be said about his 2.5% walk rate and 20.0% strikeout rate. He fared better in center field, where he posted 8 OAA and 7 FRV across 1,396 innings. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Harris' bat will impact his fantasy value more than his glove. If it's any consolation, though, the home runs and stolen bases should help counteract the negative effect of the high K/BB rate. As it stands, he ranks as the #24 outfielder in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball draft rankings for 2026.

His grand slam was part of the nine-run fourth inning that turned a 6-0 deficit into a 9-6 lead, in a game which the Braves held on to win, 11-6. Harris is still only hitting .246 on the season, but since the All-Star break, he has been excellent, posting a .366 batting average and .454 wOBA backed up by a 52.9% hard-hit rate. The 2018 NL Rookie of the Year had a brutal start to the season but has picked things up in the second half, giving fantasy managers lots to consider as the 24-year-old continues to patrol center field every day for the Braves. If you held on through his brutal start, enjoy this red-hot run.

Harris' 6.5% barrel rate and 39.5% hard-hit rate are both career lows, as is his 2.9% walk rate.
