"Coming into 2025, which would be his first full season at double-A, it would be interesting to see whether he could continue to show off that same command while also striking out a few more batters along the way. Coming off such a stellar season in which he also participated in the Arizona Fall League, Harper was poised to take that next step."
"Landon Harper had perhaps the most underrated 2024 season of any of Atlanta's pitching prospects. In 32 appearances between Rome and Mississippi, Harper pitched to a 2.43 ERA while striking out 64 and only walking 14 in 77.2 innings pitched. During his pro career, Harper has shown excellent command, but has not been able to miss a ton of bats, which doesn't exactly make his prospect profile jump out to most."
Landon Harper was selected by Atlanta in the 14th round of the 2022 draft (425th overall) and signed for $140,000. In 2024 he posted a 2.43 ERA across 32 appearances between Rome and Mississippi, striking out 64 and walking 14 in 77.2 innings. Command has been a consistent strength, but his ability to miss bats has been limited. In 2025 he split time between starting and relieving with Columbus, making 26 appearances including 14 starts and totaling a career-high 107.2 innings. His ERA rose to 3.59, but he maintained strong control with only 21 walks and 105 strikeouts. He projects as an efficient, command-driven swingman who could fit a big-league bullpen role.
