Kyle Harrison has a good debut as Giants lose, 4-3

Yes... HA HA HA... YES! Kyle Harrison delivered on a promise. The San Francisco Giants just might have their next big pitching prospect. He had as much hype around him as any rookie the Giants have ever had and he didn’t disappoint tonight in his major league debut.

65 pitches, 5 strikeouts, 1 walk. Topped out at 97 mph with his four-seamer. Dominated an elite group of hitters with his fastball. The majority of major league hitters can handle a four-seamer just fine. The weird part of the night was how he handled the righties better than the lefties in the Phillies’ lineup, but I think that’s to be expected with a secondary pitch either handedness seemed to be able to spot right away.
