Jonathan Harris came to spring training bigger, stronger, and confident that last years struggles are behind him.
After a long and emotional senior season at Missouri State University, Harris joined the Class-A Vancouver Canadians for the tail end of 2015.
While his strong character would never allow him to admit it, fatigue most certainly factored into his 21 walks and 6.75 ERA in 36 innings in Vancouver.
He carried the MSU Bears to a school record-setting season and an NCAA Super Regionals playoff birth.
After 103 innings of college ball and a tough loss to Arkansas in the College World Series Round of 16, Harris’ dominance did not translate to the professional level in late June.
