2024 Fantasy Outlook
Some may write off Harris's 2023 struggles as a prototypical sophomore slump, but it is not that easy. Harris was being taken as early as the end of the second round last winter but finished the season just inside the top 100 overall and just inside the top 70 for hitters based on our final earned auction values. Harris got injured early in the season and he took awhile to shake off the rust to resume his production. He did perform better against lefties than he did as a rookie, but what ultimately limited his 2023 production was hitting 9th in 88 of the 138 games he played. It is incredibly tough for a high round draft pick to max out their production out of the bottom of the lineup. On another team, Harris is likely hitting high in the lineup most days but Atlanta has more traffic on its depth chart than it does on its local highways. It would take an injury to someone else to get Harris into the top half of the lineup, so do not go back to the second or third round well. Read Past Outlooks
Goes yard twice in rout
Harris went 3-for-6 with two solo home runs in Tuesday's 12-0 win over the Nationals.
ANALYSIS
He took MacKenzie Gore deep in the fourth inning before launching another homer off Ildemaro Vargas in the ninth. Harris is still struggling to find a groove at the plate, and time is running out on the regular season -- since returning from a hamstring injury in mid-August, he's slashing just .234/.259/.421 through 26 games, but he does have six of his 11 homers on the year during that stretch.

Stat Review
How does Michael Harris compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Harris did not come out of nowhere, but no one expected him to reach the majors so soon, let alone win NL Rookie of the Year. He was slashing .305/.372/.506 with Double-A Mississippi when he received the call in late May. Harris started out slow, but the Braves' patience paid off. His 24.3 percent strikeout rate and 4.8 percent walk rate suggest Harris still has work to do, but a 75th percentile hard hit rate paired with 95th percentile spring speed and a 95.2 fly ball average exit velocity is the blueprint for a five-category cornerstone. Harris' platoon splits are a slight concern, as he posted a .943 OPS against righties and a .649 mark facing southpaws. Just 22-years-old, Harris can surely narrow the gap, but in the short term, he may hit low in the order with a lefty on the hill. It's risky investing top-tier draft capital in a still unproven player, but the indicators point toward him being a perennial first round/$40 player.
