Bearcats in the Big Leauges: Season Preview

ZiPS projections: .286/.320/.410, 7 HR, 62 runs, 53 RBI, 15 steals, 97 wRC+

Entering his age 29 season, Harrison is a known commodity and a solid one at that. Having played multiple positions and hit in multiple spots for the Pittsburgh Pirates, Harrison is set to return as a starter once again in 2017. He hit above .280 for the third-straight season in 2016, although there was a bit of a dip across the board, with a slash line of .283/.311/.699 compared to 2015’s .287/.327/.717. Along the way he set a career-high in RBI (59) and stolen bases (19), but he was still a below average bat, posting a wRC+ of 87.
