Logan Webb and Kyle Harrison teamed up to throw the first live BP of spring, providing a glimpse in to the Giants’ future.
“He’s definitely got a lot of talent,” said catcher Joey Bart, who met the young lefty for the first time Friday and was one of four hitters he faced during one-plus simulated innings. “He’s got a really good fastball for a kid that’s, what, 21? Just a lot of talent, just a lot of upside.”
“You just watch it and you’re like, oh, that ball takes off,” Kapler said of Harrison’s heater, which reaches the upper 90s and was already hitting 95 mph even before the start of camp, according to Webb. “With Kyle it looks pretty explosive.” Almost as soon as it was over, Harrison headed for Arizona, where he spent the entire offseason training at the Giants’ Papago Park complex, often in tandem with Webb, who owns a home here. They pushed each other in the weight room and built a relationship. At fan fest earlier this month, Webb couldn’t stop himself from raving about the young buck.
“You walk in here and you’re with the big leaguers. It hit me yesterday, like, whoa, I’m really here right now,” Harrison said. “It’s a cool feeling for sure.”
