Scouting report
Just as Harrell was looking like a good prospect after a solid 2006 season, he missed all of 2007 and two months in 2008 with a shoulder injury. He is finally getting back on track, but his prospect status has suffered. He features a low 90s sinker that gets him a lot of groundballs, a changeup that has been called a plus pitch and a slider that needs to get better for him to make it in the Majors. He can throw into the mid 90s, but he gets better control and sink in the low 90s. His control is improving, but needs to get better. He doesn’t strike out enough batters to walk hitters and get away with it.
Major League Outlook: Swingman if he earns a look
