Draft Prospects
-
School: Texas Tech
Harrelson as a true freshman carved out an everyday role for himself and hit .324/.404/.441 with 16 doubles and five triples. He has a wiry, athletic frame and has a quiet setup in the box with quick hands. Harrelson is very much a hit-over-power profile right now, and his contact ability needs to improve. He has quick feet in the outfield with an accurate, average arm. -
School: Houston County HS, Warner Robins, Ga. Committed/Drafted: Texas Tech
Age At Draft: 18.2
A 6-foot-3, 180-pound outfielder with plenty of projection remaining on his frame and a solid set of tools, Harrelson’s upside potential is exciting. He’s turned in plus-plus run times in high school and even after filling out his frame and getting bigger should be a plus runner who can stay in center field in the long run and be an above-average defender there. On top of that, he should grow into average raw power. While he has a long track record of hitting throughout his high school and travel ball career, there are questions about Harrelson’s pure hitting ability and how his swing will play against college and pro pitching. It’s a funky swing that gets a bit stiff and rigid at times, though Harrelson does swing with plenty of bat speed. Because scouts think he might be a below-average hitter, he could wind up on campus at Texas Tech, where his athleticism and up-the-middle defense should be an asset starting on day one.
