A 1-for-14 showing during the last three games has hurt Harrison’s overall numbers slightly. Obviously 14 bad at-bats don’t ruin a whole season and are way too small a sample to try to glean anything other than “Hey, Josh Harrison had a bad couple of games.” His 62 wRC+ during the last week is way below his work for the year (117), but that hasn’t bothered Pirates manager Clint Hurdle (and it shouldn’t) as Harrison batted either leadoff or second in the last five contests. Already worth 1.5 wins this season, Harrison is slashing .294/.356/.442 with six home runs and 21 RBI.
