Scouting report
Another of the prospects who came over from Oakland in the trade for Mike Minor, Harris is a swing tweak away from breaking out and may have already made one. Harris shows plus raw power during BP and routinely puts balls out to dead center field. He's a very well-built young man who might yet grow into more raw power as he enters his mid-20s. He also has precocious barrel control and his swing is pretty compact for a hitter with a frame as big as his. But he has struggled to lift the ball and hit for in-game power even though he has big raw, so on paper he looks like a first baseman without anything close to prototypical thump. Both the A's and Rangers have tried Harris at third base but I think the chances he even moonlights there are pretty remote. Instead, I think he's got a better chance of tapping into the hidden power and becoming an everyday first base prospect.
