Selected 98th overall in the 2024 MLB Draft out of a Pennsylvania high school, the now 19-year-old third baseman has impressed at Single-A Ontario, slashing .336/.486/.469 with nine extra-base hits, including two home runs, across 32 games. Harlan’s high baseball IQ and advanced offensive approach are reflected in an impressive 31-to-28 walk-to-strikeout ratio over 148 plate appearances. He demonstrates a strong feel for the strike zone, recognizes spin well, and uses the whole field. While the home run power is still developing, the foundation for an impact offensive profile is evident. Listed at 6-foot-3 and 205 pounds, Harlan possesses a strong, projectable frame with room to add strength and grow into greater power production. Despite his size, he’s a good athlete with the agility and arm strength to remain at third base long term. With his blend of athleticism, instincts, and offensive upside, Harlan projects as a potential everyday, run-producing third baseman.
