Will Harris will need a miracle to make the 2027 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, but as we always say here at Notinhalloffame.com; ANYONE who played ten years in the Majors has a career to envy.
Harris played his entire career out of the bullpen, first with Colorado and then Arizona, both of which waived him. He was then signed by the Houston Astros, where he had his best success. Harris found a late-inning setup role and had a 1.90 ERA and 0.901 WHIP over 71 Innings. The year after, he went to the All-Star game, saved 12 Games (a career-high), and played a role in the Astros’ World Series win in 2017. After another solid season, Harris’ 2019 saw him set a personal best 1.50 ERA, and he again helped them reach the World Series, though this time, they lost to Washington. Coincidentally, he signed with the Nationals the following year.
The peak was over as his 2020 was average, and he was injured in 2021 with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. He only played in eight Games, and wasn’t the same. Harris never recovered it and retired shortly after.
