Harrison Puts the Finishing Touches on Masterful Season

SF Giants Minor Lines, September 14, 2022

Make no small plans! Take no small steps! That would appear to be Kyle Harrison’s mantra this year. According to this incredible note from Trey Wilson, Harrison went into his final start of the 2022 season with a K9 of 15 — the highest by any qualified minor league pitcher going back to at least 1960! He didn’t quite keep it at the 15 mark after Wednesday night, but he left it high enough to top this list with plenty to spare!

PITCHER of the Night: Kyle Harrison (Rich) 5.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 6 K

Only one game last night, which allowed Harrison to take center stage as he put the final touches on his B-Ref page for the year. Spoiler alert: it was a pretty good night!

Harrison did mix in a few sliders though too!
