Michael Harris II's second-half turnaround for Braves is truly unprecedented

Atlanta Braves center fielder Michael Harris II had a first half to forget. The 24-year-old was the second-worst qualified hitter by wRC+, having 37 more plate appearances than the worst hitter, Brenton Doyle.

The lefty slashed .210/.234/.317 and Braves fans were starting to question if Harris would be a viable option to be the starting center fielder moving forward. However, a month into the second half, any doubt about Money Mike has been left in the first half.

Instead of worrying whether or not the Braves need to consider potential center field replacements, we're wondering whether or not anyone has ever had such a drastic post-All Star break turnaround (hint: no one has).
