Nathan
Harmon

The Northeast TX CC signee got the start for Coach Sherman’s group on Friday and looked the part.  While he is more known for the bat, he had an intriguing arsenal on the mound. His FB was 86-88 with heavy ASR. When he was able to get it to the bottom of the zone, it was a tough pitch to square up. He threw a slider that was 77-79 and was a nice compliment to his fastball. Harmon is one of many arms that will fill in behind team ace Tate Evans, giving them a deep staff.

Five-foot-9, 155-pound frame with a strong lower half. Offensively Harmon posted a 79 mph exit velo with really strong lower half actions.  His athletic stance at the plate allowed for fluid rhythm, and he had a level swing path with the barrel in the zone for a long time with good extension. Hit consistent line drives to left field in batting practice. Flashed soft hands with a quick release and short ¾ arm action. He was very accurate changing arm angles effectively while throwing on the move, 67 mph across the infield.  He ran a 7.75 laser-timed 60. Off the mound, he showed smooth rhythm in his delivery working in-line towards the plate with his legs and shoulders. His fastball was 73-74 consistently in the zone, curveball was 57-59 with a 10/4 shape, and the changeup was 65-67 and he showed great feel for this pitch consistently throwing it in the bottom of the strike zone.
