Scouting Report (2006 BA Handbook)
Harker’s money pitch is his power curveball, which breaks late and straight down. His maximum-effort delivery makes it register in the low 80’s and it’s a knee-buckler that often catches batters looking. He used his fastball mostly to set up his curve in college, but Phillies wants him to work on throwing the heater more as a pro. Increased use of his fastball could build strength in an already quick arm, and bump up its peak velocity from its current 92 mph. With one plus pitch already, Harker could emerge as a late inning option in the majors.
