Solid glove work is just about the only major asset Calvin Harris brought to the diamond in 2024. | Winston-Salem Dash
A rough year in High-A will make the next step a big challenge
Calvin Harris Catcher 6´0´´ 215 pounds Age: 23 2024 South Side Sox Top Prospect Ranking36 2024 High Level Winston-Salem (High-A) Age relative to high level -0.1 years SSS rank among all catchers in the system 6 Overall 2024 stats 68 games ⚾️ 2 HR ⚾️ 23 RBI ⚾️ .221/.302/.303 ⚾️ 28 BB ⚾️ 66 K ⚾️ 19-of-121 (15.7%) CS ⚾️ .992 FLD%
After combining for five homers through his first two seasons at Ole Miss, Calvin Harris blasted 12 long balls in 2023. He also cut his ground ball rate by 7% and his strikeout rate by 8%. His 128 wRC+ was the ninth-best among D1 left-handed catchers in 2023.
Harris was great against fastballs, with a well above-average Z-Contact% and Hard Hit%. He also had better than average chase rates on breaking/offspeed pitches. He had a 75th percentile Barrel rate with an above-average SweetSpot%, but one thing he’ll need to do better is pull the ball in the air, as 63% of his pulled batted balls were on the ground.
It seems unlikely that Harris will stick behind the plate unless the league institutes some version of robot umpires, as Harris grades as a well below-average pitch framer, yet has shown solid pop times.
Unfortunately, in 2024 Harris took a step back in every aspect of his game, with a CS% dropping under 16%, which is almost impossible for a regular catcher. Add to that a significant slash drop and strikeouts doubling compared to 2023, and you’re looking at a guy who might struggle to remain in the system.
Harris’ Baseball Cube player ratings RBIs 70 (-12 from last season) Durability 62 (-2) Hitting 56 (-5) Contact 55 (0) Power 52 (-5) XBH 51 (-3) Runs 48 (-2) Speed 26 (-4) Average 52.50 (-4.13)
Harris spent his full season at age-appropriate High-A in Winston-Salem in 2024, but accomplished little to merit promotion to Birmingham. However, whether breaking camp or soon after, the backstop should receive his greatest challenge yet, moving to Double-A.
