Trey Harris

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Atlanta Braves #26 prospect in 2021
  TRACK RECORD: After struggling his first three seasons at Missouri, Harris hit .316/.413/.516 in a breakout senior season in 2018. The Braves drafted him in the 32nd round and gave him a $10,000 bonus. Harris has continued to hit in pro ball. He owns a .317/.395/.480 career slash line in two seasons between the Class A levels and Double-A.
  
  SCOUTING REPORT: Harris has a fringe-average hit tool and solid power potential. He is an aggressive hitter who doesn't walk much, but he has a great feel to square up fastballs. Most of his power goes to his pull side, though he has the strength to use the opposite field as well. Harris will need to monitor his weight and could slow down to an average or fringy runner. His average arm plays better in left field than right. Braves officials believe he's a better defender than he gets credit for.
  
  THE FUTURE: Harris is set to start back at Double-A in 2021. It will be a good test to see if he can handle upper-level pitching.
• 
  Ranked Atlanta Braves #21 prospect in 2020
  TRACK RECORD: Harris didn't hit over .300 in college until his fourth year with Missouri, but after signing for just $10,000 in the 32nd round with the Braves, he's now hit above the .300 mark in each of his first two professional seasons.
  
  SCOUTING REPORT: Harris' professional debut was strong, but brief, in 2018. A year later, the Braves aggressively pushed Harris to more age-appropriate leagues, and he continued to hit every step of the way. Harris has a fringe-average hit tool, but he can square up the fastball well and has a good understanding of the strike zone. He brings average power to the table and while most of that is pull-oriented, he can drive the ball out to the opposite field at times as well. An above-average runner now, that grade could go down in the future, as scouts noted increased weight on Harris towards the end of the season. He'll need to monitor that moving forward, but can capably handle either corner outfield spot, with average arm strength that likely makes him a better fit for left.
  
  THE FUTURE: Harris should begin the 2020 season in Double-A where he will look to continue proving his hitting ability is strong enough to profile in a corner.

Minor League Top Prospects

• 
  Ranked South Atlantic League #19 prospect in 2019
  Harris was arguably the best hitter in the South Atlantic League until he was promoted to high Class A Florida in early June. Harris showed an ability to hit for average, get on base and power. After just a month in the Florida State League, he was promoted again to Double-A Mississippi. "He blew our expectations away. He kicked down the door and showed he has tools and skills," Rome manager Matt Tuiasasopo said. "He had his game plan. He knew what he wanted to do in every at-bat. He understood the situation of the game. He was very confident. He was ready to hit." Harris quickly showed he could handle premium fastballs, but he also showed he could handle breaking balls early in counts once pitchers stopped giving him fastballs to hit. Harris played all three outfield positions, but he's best in the corners. His 50-grade arm can handle right field.
