Kyle Harrison impressed in his recent start against the Marlins, allowing only one hit over five scoreless innings, showcasing his ability as a promising starter. With Justin Verlander set to return from injury, Harrison's role remains uncertain; however, his performance has validated his status as a capable pitcher. He heavily relied on his four-seam fastball, achieving a personal best average velocity. The Giants envision Harrison as a future starter, but he must continue to deliver strong results regardless of his role on the team.
Harrison generated 10 whiffs with his heater, one shy of his career-high of 11. Those whiffs were likely a product of his rediscovered velocity.
As a reliever, he's allowed two runs over 5 1/3 innings (3.38 ERA). As a starter, he has a crisp 2.00.
Harrison's average four-seam fastball clocked in at 95.3 mph against the Marlins, the highest average velocity he's ever had with his heater in a start.
Harrison affirmed why he's deserving of more starts. He can control how he performs when his name is called, and so far, he’s performed well.
