"With a rocket of an arm at just 19 years old, Landon Harmon has a lot to offer. Selected 80th overall in the 2025 Draft by the Washington Nationals out of East Union High School (Blue Springs, MS), can already comfortably sit around 93-96 MPH with his heater, which puts him in a great position to do so much more and make his way through the minors to be the Nats' ace of the future. He was committed to Mississippi State for a reason."
"According to his profile on MaxPreps.com, his high school career record was 21-3, a 1.09 ERA, and 284 strikeouts. Those are just his baseline numbers. He did give up any doubles or triples, according to MaxPreps' data, and the only extra base hits that he allowed were 4 home runs over his high school career. If these numbers don't tell you that we can have an ace in the making, I don't know what will."
"MLB.com notes on his profile: "For a tall teenager, Harmon does a nice job of keeping his delivery in sync and pounding the strike zone, though he'll sometimes rush his mechanics with runners on base," it is a learning curve that needs to be overcome. Patience is a learned habit, and with the pitch clock being a little longer when runners are on base, Harmon must focus on learning his timing in high-pressure situations to avoid making avoidable mistakes."
