Projected Draft Round: 3-5

Though with some inconsistencies this spring that has seen his draft stock fluctuate, Hogan Harris is now viewed as a really solid early Day 2 selection, thanks mostly to his very strong left arm. His arm has been well know for quite some time, and was a PG All-American the summer before his senior year in high school. He has been one of Louisiana’s best pitchers in 2018 as well, though he has missed some time and only logged 34 1/3 innings this year. He’s striking out just about a batter per inning with an ERA of 2.62, though he’s walked too many as well. 

Harris is a strong-bodied, physical lefthander with good strength throughout his durable frame. He’s built like a starting pitcher and looks the part of a durable, innings-eater type of arm, though the rest of his profile doesn’t quite fit the same mold. He has struggled a bit with throwing consistent strikes, and the elevated walks have popped up again in 2018, lessening the potential projection on Harris as a starting pitcher. He does, however, have the potential arsenal of a starter, with two pitches that will show plus. 

His fastball sits in the mid-90s out of the bullpen, usually in the 93-96 mph range, though he has touched 98 mph this year relatively frequently. The fastball velocity, while good on its own, comes with the added bonuses of good angle to the plate along with solid arm-side life. It’s one of the better fastballs in the collegiate ranks, but the fastball command lessens the impact at times. His breaking ball, which he changes speeds with, will show as a plus pitch when thrown harder. 

Harris has a live left arm with lots of strikeouts on his resume along with the breaking ball to boot. Most teams view him as a reliever, but with his stuff from the left side he could be a priority draft option for teams once we get into the third or fourth round range.
