Michael Harris II News
Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II is hitting .286 with a .375 OBP through 28 spring at-bats. The defending NL Rookie of the Year looks ready for the season and to improve on last year. He has two home runs and one stolen base this spring. He was a solid contributor across the board last season, hitting .297 with 19 homers, 20 steals, 64 RBI, and 75 runs scored in 414 at-bats. He should exceed those numbers after playing in 114 games in the majors last season. He's currently RotoBaller's 30th-ranked player but has an ADP of 42, so he should land in an excellent spot for one of your top outfield options.
Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II won the 2022 Jackie Robinson National League Rookie of the Year award on Monday. Harris won the award over teammate Spencer Strider and Cardinals infielder Brendan Donovan. The 21-year-old becomes the ninth player in Atlanta history to win the award and the first since Ronald Acuna Jr. won it in 2018. He opened the 2022 season as the club's top prospect and didn't make his MLB debut until May 28. Harris led all NL rookies with a 5.3 bWAR and finished his first season with 19 home runs and 20 stolen bases. Not only was he good with the bat, but Harris also finished tied for fourth among all center fielders with eight defensive runs saved despite missing the first two months. The former third-rounder in 2019 played in only one full season for High-A Rome before debuting in the big leagues in 2022.
The Atlanta Braves and rookie outfielder Michael Harris II completed an eight-year, $72 million contract extension Tuesday, per the team's Twitter account. The extension seems well-deserved, as the 21-year-old has slashed .287/.325/.500 with 12 home runs, 39 RBI and 13 stolen bases in 268 plate appearances in his first big-league season. The extension shows the confidence the Braves have in Harris, and fantasy managers should show the same confidence in him for the rest of this season.

The reigning NL Rookie of the Year, Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II, will be tasked to defend his ROY status in his sophomore season. Harris will have the opportunity to play an entire season in 2023, which implies that his chances of exceeding his 2022 numbers are promising. Through 421 plate appearances last season, the 21-year-old laced 19 HRs with a .853 OPS and a 136 wRC+. Steamer projects the center fielder to smack 22 HRs while maintaining a 21.7% strikeout rate and a 4.3 WAR in 2023. His 28.64 ADP is relatively high for a second-year player, but Harris has proved enough to receive such a premium number. The Georgia native is a menace on the field and is on a trajectory to become one of the most valuable hitters in the game. Assuming he stays healthy, his current ADP is the perfect spot to employ your centerfield vacancy.
