The 6-foot-2, 200-pound native Californian began this season for Class A-plus Eugene, Ore. He was elevated to Richmond on May 24. For the Squirrels he is 3-1 with a 3.19 earned run average and a stunning 60 strikeouts in 42.1 innings.

Harrison was San Francisco’s third round draft pick in 2020.

During his brief pro career, Harrison has 276 strikeouts in 170 innings. He is believed to be on the fast track to the Squirrels’ big league affiliate Giants.
