The first time I saw Miami Marlins outfielder Monte Harrison, he was imposing. A 6-foot-3 inch minor league prospect with muscles on top of muscles, swinging a bat like it was a stick and the baseball diamond was his backyard.
That was two seasons ago, right after the Marlins acquired Harrison from the Milwaukee Brewers and he was assigned to Double-A Jacksonville. Now a more complete player who “grew” a bit at New Orleans in 2019, the 2020 season is about Harrison cracking the team’s Major League roster and attempting to win the centerfield job that is presently open amongst many competitors.
