Major League Baseball announced Friday that Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris was named Rookie of the Month for his performance in August. Harris also took home Rookie of the Month honors in June and follows Spencer Strider who won in July. Manager Brian Snitker said that Harris was deserving and he wouldn’t be surprised if he won again next month.
“Yeah I just heard too. Very well deserving I think,” Snitker said. “What he’s done and continues to do. It won’t surprise me if he wins the next months either. It speaks volumes to the work that he’s doing and how he’s handled this whole thing.
