Harrison earned Low-A Pitcher of the Year honors in his pro debut, leading the California League in ERA (3.19) and strikeouts per nine (14.3) in 2021... in 2022, Harrison led the Minors in whiffs per nine (14.8) and whiff percentage (39.8) while reaching Double-A as a 20-year-old.... Harrison’s results were more mixed in 2023 at Triple-A Sacramento, where he posted huge strikeout numbers (105 punchouts in 65 ⅔ innings) but also his highest walk rate (6.6 per nine) and ERA (4.66) as a pro through his first 21 starts... was ranked as the No. 20 overall prospect in baseball by MLB.com when the Giants called him up for his Major League debut on Aug. 22, 2023 in Philadelphia... he was ranked as top left-handed pitching prospect and second-best pitching prospect overall, per MLB Pipeline at the time of his promotion from Triple-A
