A flurry of features have filled the internet over the last week about Harrison and his sudden propensity for getting hit by pitches. The reasoning behind this is justified. During his first six seasons, Harrison was hit 26 times by errant pitches. That includes a grand total of 16 over the last three campaigns. In 2017, he has already matched that second number, taking 16 offerings to the body rather than the bat. That number was helped along on April 18 when he was hit by a pitch in four-straight at-bats, twice against the Cubs and twice by the Cardinals.
