23-Year-Old PitcherP

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Harrington qualifies as a sleeper for both dynasty and redraft leagues. The 6-foot-2 righty sometimes gets overlooked in a system with several more famous and hard-throwing young pitchers, but Harrington has good stuff in his own right and excellent command. He logged walk rates below five percent at Double-A (3.7 BB%) and Triple-A (4.5 BB%) while also limiting damage (nine home runs allowed in 114.1 innings). Harrington's fastball sits in the low-90s but has good life, and he throws a total of five pitches that are at least average, with his slider and splitter flashing plus. There's not much evidence that Harrington will miss enough bats to be an SP2 or SP3 in fantasy, but when a 23-year-old starter has this type of command, it can sometimes lead to more fantasy value than the pure stuff would portend. He has an outside chance to compete for a rotation spot in the spring and should be up in the first half one way or another. Read Past Outlooks

Falters in Triple-A debut
PPittsburgh Pirates  AAA
August 4, 2024
Harrington debuted for Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday after being promoted from Double-A Altoona earlier in the day and struck out four over 5.2 innings while taking a no-decision in Indianapolis' 10-8 loss to Toledo. He gave up five earned runs on six hits and one walk.
ANALYSIS
Harrington was advanced to the Pirates' top affiliate after he turned in a 2.24 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 74:10 K:BB in 68.1 innings over 13 outings with Altoona. Though he turned in poor results in his Triple-A debut, Harrington continued his strike-throwing ways, as he found the zone on 52 of his 72 pitches on the afternoon. The 23-year-old righty will most likely finish out the 2024 season with Indianapolis, though it's not entirely out of the question for him to get the call to Pittsburgh if he impresses in his subsequent Triple-A outings.
