2023 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Pops first spring homer
Harris went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles.
ANALYSIS
Hitting third in the order, the young center fielder ripped a Tyler Wells offering down the right-field line in the first inning for his first homer of the spring. Harris is 4-for-10 to begin his spring, and the 2022 NL Rookie of the Year has his sights set on a huge fantasy season after coming just one home run short of a 20-20 campaign last year despite playing in only 114 games for Atlanta.

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.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Harris had been generating buzz at the alternate training site in 2020 and in big-league camp in 2021, making him a strong breakout candidate, and he did not disappoint. He hit .294/.362/.436 with seven home runs, 27 steals (on 31 attempts), an 8.3 BB% and an 18.1 K% in 101 games as a 20-year-old at High-A. It is important to note that his power output was artificially suppressed by the extreme pitchers' park at Rome. Harris is a rare minor leaguer who could legitimately be a five-tool player in the majors, as he boasts above-average raw power that could continue to tick up and has a plus arm with good instincts in center field. His top fantasy-relevant tools are currently plus speed and an excellent hit tool that improved as the season went on. At 6-foot, 195 pounds, there's a chance he will slow down in the coming years, but until that happens, Harris's fantasy ceiling is deceptively high. He could spend all of 2022 at Double-A.
