Atlanta Braves centerfielder Michael Harris II came into the 2025 season as a favorite to post at least a 20-20 season while providing Gold Glove defense in the outfield. The baserunning and fielding has been as advertised as Harris' baserunning value is in the 83rd percentile in all of baseball and his five Outs Above Average puts him amongst MLB's elite. Unfortunately, his bat has severely lagged behind in 2025...at least, it was until recently.
On July 10, Harris was the "proud" owner of a .205/.229/.310 line which made him one of, if not the worst qualified hitter in all of baseball which is certainly not what anyone predicted for him this year.
