1st outing of the year on the bump for the righty. Fought to find his rhythm and release in the first inning, falling behind hitters with inconsistent velocity. Fastball peaked at 86, ranging 84-86 as he settled into the outing. Showed an ability to compete through adversity, without his best stuff. Curveball ranged 69-70.

A legitimate two-way prospect, Harkey shows advanced catch and throw skills behind the dish. Receiving with an athletic base, slightly turned toward the glove side, his hand works with ease through the zone, really handling the low ball well. Pop times ranged 2.00-2.03 with an exit velocity of 78 from the crouch. Clean exchanges, work with a short, strong arm action to a high-3/4 slot, from a vertical stance. Works through most throws but will cut off extension at times. Offensively, the right-handed hitter works from a balanced, athletic stance. Short stride with a smooth, ‘C’ load back leads to a quick bat through the zone. Strength plays ahead of quickness at this time. Level approach, works to get extension, showing aggression at the point of contact. Repeats his swing and finds the barrel consistently. Exit velocity measured at 91mph. A good athlete, Harkey showed some leadership ability in handling bullpens and his workout with his teammates. Ran a 30 yard dash in 4.09. On the bump, the arm swing is longer, working away from the body at times, seeming to have some stiffness, into a high-3/4 slot. Lands slightly closed, working with level shoulders. Fastball touched 83 with the breaking ball showing late 10/4 action, ranging 68-69. Change-up has arm side run and deception sitting 72-73.
