San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Kyle Harrison threw seven scoreless innings in Tuesday's 5-0 victory over the Rockies, picking up his third win of the year. The southpaw allowed just four hits while walking two and striking out two. He now sports a 3.20 ERA (3.81 FIP), 1.22 WHIP, and a 15.1% K-BB% on the year through eight starts. Known for being more of a strikeout pitcher, his 40 strikeouts in 45 IP is somewhat disappointing, but other than that there isn't much to complain about. The 22-year-old is having a fine season so far for the Giants, and his next start tentatively lines up with the Reds next week at home. The Reds have a .208 batting average as a team against LHP, which is fifth-worst in the league.

San Francisco Giants left-hander Kyle Harrison turned in a quality performance in a 3-1 win over the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. Harrison allowed one run on three hits over five innings of work while striking out seven and walking five but had to settle for a no-decision in the contest. Harrison struggled a bit with his control in issuing five free passes but was able to work around the walks on the way to lowering his ERA to 3.79. Harrison now has a 2-1 record and 38 strikeouts over 38 innings of work in 2024. He will look to keep it going in his next start, which is scheduled to come on Tuesday on the road against the Colorado Rockies.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Kyle Harrison issued five walks but still managed to throw five innings of one-run ball in a 3-1 win against the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. Harrison didn't pick up the win as San Francisco went ahead for good in the seventh, but Harrison had a solid start nonetheless. He allowed just three hits and struck out seven to round out his line. The 22-year-old rookie has allowed three or fewer runs in six of his seven starts this season. If Harrison can put it all together, he's got major upside that warrants being rostered in most leagues.

San Francisco Giants starter Kyle Harrison pitched six innings Friday, giving up six hits and two earned runs, but he didn't walk a batter and struck out five on the way to earning a win in his first start of the 2024 season. Harrison threw 54 of his 76 pitches for strikes, which was great to see from someone who is known for his strikeout ability but also for some command issues during his time in the minor leagues. Two of the hits were home runs (Machado, Tatis) and he gave up eight long balls last season in 34 2/3 IP at the major league level, which makes limiting the walks all that more important going forward. The southpaw likely gets the Dodgers next.

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Kyle Harrison was dominant in Thursdays Cactus League outing against the Los Angeles Dodgers. His outing was cut short due to rain, but the left-hander went 2 2/3 innings and allowed two hits, zero runs, two walks and struck out six. The highly touted 22-year-old made his big-league debut this past season and had mixed results with a 4.15 ERA to go along with a 1.15 WHIP and 35 strikeouts over 34 2/3 innings. Harrison has always been a strikeout artist and developed a new cutter this offseason that is already looking dangerous early on in spring. Harrison is going to break camp with the Giants barring something unforeseen and offers plenty of upside with an ADP of 246.

San Francisco Giants top prospect Kyle Harrison debuted a new cutter during his Cactus League outing on Sunday against the Texas Rangers. The 22-year-old left-hander struck out four and hit a batter while not allowing a hit in two scoreless innings. Harrison began to develop his cutter last year but has been using it more, and it should become a bigger part of his repertoire heading into his first full season in San Francisco's starting rotation. Before adding a cutter, Harrison was a fastball, slider, and changeup pitcher. In his first seven MLB starts in 2023, he had a 4.15 ERA and 1.15 WHIP with 35 K's and 11 walks in 34 2/3 innings. His fly-ball tendencies should be mitigated by his pitcher-friendly home park in San Fran, and a big jump is expected from Harrison in 2024, although a likely innings limit could cap his fantasy upside.
