A college Catcher????
I know, doesn't really seem to make much sense unless you are hedging against trading Harry Ford.....
It still doesn't make sense. You don't draft college position players with these offensive numbers this high. Maybe you take a flyer on a guy in the fifth round or something.

Video scouting report »

Scouting grades: Fastball: 65 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 45 | Control: 50 | Overall: 50

Mississippi has produced just one prep pitcher selected in the top two rounds since the turn of the century: unsigned Dodgers first-rounder J.T. Ginn in 2018. The Magnolia State may have another in Harmon, who combines velocity and projectability better than most high school arms in the 2025 Draft. He can run his fastball to 99 mph with ease and can add a lot more strength to his slender 6-foot-5 frame.

Harmon sits at 93-96 mph with his fastball, delivering it on a flat approach angle with carry and arm-side run. He'll manipulate the shape of his solid slider, varying it from a low-80s sweeper to a harder, tighter version to an upper-80s cutter. He hasn't had much need or shown much feel for his low-80s changeup.

For a tall teenager, Harmon does a nice job of keeping his delivery in sync and pounding the strike zone, though he'll sometimes rush his mechanics with runners on base. The Mississippi State commit moves well and uses his size to create extension that allows his pitches to get on hitters quickly. He generates premium velocity with athleticism and arm speed rather than effort and could be a frontline starter with continued development of his secondary pitches.

He could be a good one as well!

It makes total sense if you are planning on trading Harry Ford, in which case you would need an offensive catcher in the minors after we do not resign Garver next year.
