The Braves announced they are calling up top prospect Michael Harris II to make his major league debut Saturday vs. Miami. Harris will bat ninth in the lineup and play centerfield for his first major league game.
According to MLB Pipeline, Harris is Atlanta’s No. 1 prospect, and he is No. 59 overall in MLB. At just 21-years old, Harris hasn’t even played at AAA yet, only getting as far as 43 games in AA this year. In those games, though, he has slashed .305/.372/.506 with five home runs and 11 stolen bases.
Harris is a local kid, having grown up a Braves fan just 20 minutes outside of Atlanta.
