Description
Trey Harris is an outfielder in the Atlanta Braves organization. He is currently assigned to the Mississippi Braves. The Mississippi Braves, or M-Braves as they are referred to locally, are a Minor League Baseball team based in Pearl, Mississippi, a suburb of Jackson. The team is the Double-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves, and plays in the Southern League. Harris played college baseball for the Missouri Tigers. The talented outfielder was drafted in the 32nd round of the 2018 MLB Player Draft by his hometown Atlanta Braves.
On June 18, 2018 Harris was assigned to to the rookie club GCL Braves. He played in 31 games and raked hitting .314 in 105 At-Bats. On August 10th, 2018 Harris was promoted to the Single-A Rome hitting .286 in 22 games. In his 1st season, he hit .302 with 57 Hits in 189 At-Bats. Following his 2018 season — his first year in the Braves’ organization, after being drafted in the 32nd round that June — Harris was reassigned to the Single-A team at the start of 2019. It only took Harris 56 games to earn a well-deserved promotion to High-A Florida, after he slashed .366/.437/.594, including 14 doubles and eight home runs. The start of a busy season had begun.
Once in Florida, the out-of-this-world hitting wasn’t expected to continue, being that the Florida State League is where hitters usually regress — but not Harris. The Mizzou alum spent even less time there then he did in Rome, needing only 34 games and 139 plate appearances with the Fire Frogs. The 23-year-old slashed a more normal .303/.388/.443, though the extra-base hits continued as he belted five doubles and four home runs. Next stop: Double-A Mississippi.
With the Mississippi Braves, Harris accompanied top prospects, Cristian Pache and Drew Waters, as the Braves’ Double-A team featured a loaded outfield for about three weeks — before Pache and Waters were promoted to Triple-A Gwinnett in early August. There Harris did his best to keep up with the red hot duo as his torrid stretch began to cool off (but not by much).
When the season ended, Harris played in 41 games for the Double-A team, slashing a plenty respectable .281/.318/.411, recording seven doubles and two home runs. Overall, he dominated at two levels of the minors and held his own in an ultra-talented Southern League. To bring on the cliches… a star was born.
But there’s much more that went into Harris’ 2019 season. Through it all, the outfielder was named the Braves minor league Batter of the Year — along with Pitcher of the Year, Ian Anderson. He was also selected to represent the Braves in the Arizona Fall League in October, where he was chosen to the AFL All-Star team. In 16 games out west — with the Scottsdale Scorpions — Harris hit .281 (.810 OPS) with a couple of homers and four doubles. Even the fall couldn’t stop him from raking.
The featured black, tan and white New Balance Baseball Cleats were game worn by Trey Harris in 2018 as a member of the Gulf Coast League Braves. The Gulf Coast League Braves are the rookie-level minor league baseball affiliate of the Atlanta Braves. The team plays at CoolToday Park in North Port. The team is composed mainly of players who are in their first year of professional baseball either as draftees or non-drafted free agents from the United States, Canada, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and other countries. Harris has signed the cleats and added “Game Used” to the left one in red. The cleats show good use!
