Amid a two-way race for Rookie of the Year with teammate Spencer Strider, Harris has been fantastic for the Braves, and locking him up right now at a very reasonable rate is wise. He has shown a very advanced approach for a player his age, and he looks to be a piece of the Braves outfield in 2023 and beyond. If Atlanta locks him up, you can add him to a young core in Atlanta that continues to grow. With Matt Olson, Ozzie Albies, Ronald Acuña, Austin Riley, and others locked up for years to come — the Braves are only expanding their championship window.
