2025 Player Outlook
It may sound like a broken record saying "This Braves player had a rough 2024 because of injuries", but this is true once again for Michael Harris. We are now at two seasons in a row of drafting him high up and not getting the greatest results, but let's not forget he is still only 23. He has elite bat-speed and fantastic plate skills. With the ability to give you power and speed and a great batting average he is a guy that could easily take the jump up to first-round level production, but even if he doesn't do that as long as he stays healthy he should give you an easy 20-20 season with a high average on one of the best offenses in baseball.

Michael Harris II singled three times and knocked in a run Wednesday against the Cardinals.
He wasn’t far off from a four-hit day; the one out he made was a 106-mph grounder that Alec Burleson made a nice play on at first. The three hits were all much softer, with the hardest being an 84-mph flare to the outfield. Harris was in the leadoff spot today because Alex Verdugo was resting, but he’ll probably be back hitting sixth on Friday.
Michael Harris homered in a win over the Twins on Saturday for Atlanta.
Michael Harris II went 2-for-4 with a run scored and two RBI in a 6-4 win over the Twins on Friday.
Harris completed the Braves four-run comeback with his two-run, game-tying single in the eighth inning off reliever Cole Sands and set-up Drake Baldwin to drive him in as the winning run. Few players have struggled as much as Harris out of the gate this season, so coming through like this in the clutch must come with a little bit of extra joy. Yet, he remains Atlanta’s lead-off hitter against right-handed pitchers and has been known to go on torrid hot streaks during his career. Maybe this big hit sets him off on his next one.
Michael Harris II went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a stolen base against the Rays on Saturday.
Harris got on base with a single to lead off the game and stole second before he was left stranded. He came through for the team in a big spot late, taking Cole Suler deep for a go-ahead two-run blast that would ultimately win the game for Atlanta. The 24-year-old outfielder now has two homers and one steal on the season while hitting .231/.250/.385 across 58 plate appearances.
