Bill Harris
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Harris also has a decent changeup. He can hit 90 MPH but is too smart to try to get his fastball past most hitters. If you're going in to face Harris, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. When you throw a curveball, it better break. Hanging curves equal earned runs in this league, you just can't get away with them. Unfortunately, Harris's curveball tends to hang. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He isn't especially quick off the mound but generally fields his position adequately. He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Harris is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Harris has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Harris as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook Harris was a rule-five pickup for the Retired or Inactive Players last year. I think The Retired or Inactive Players just didn't want to be left out of the Rule-V draft, why else would you sign Harris? But if you ask me, I'll pass on Harris.
