LANE HARRISLHP / 1B / FRANCIS HOWELL CENTRAL , MO / 2023 A projectable lefty that showed a feel for pitching and a plus curveball. Harris sat in the low 80's but his arm action and body suggest more velocity will be coming soon. Harris's breaking ball has the makings for a plus pitch with a spin rate in the 2750-2850 range.
