Hobie

Harris

Harris signed a minor league pact last month with the Mets and will head to Boston as extra organizational relief depth after being picked in the minor league portion of the Rule 5 Draft. The 31-year-old righty, who made 16 relief appearances for the Nationals during the 2023 season, struggled to a lackluster 6.79 ERA, 1.84 WHIP and 62/31 K/BB ratio over 54 1/3 innings (44 appearances) last year at Triple-A St. Paul in the Twins’ system.

The 31-year-old hurler spent the entire 2024 campaign in the Twins’ organization where he struggled to a 6.79 ERA. 1.84 WHIP and a 62/31 K/BB ratio over 54 1/3 innings of work. He’ll add bullpen depth for the Mets in the upper levels of the minor leagues.

The 30-year-old right-hander got his first taste of big league action with the Nationals in 2023 — posting a 5.12 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and a 9/13 K/BB ratio over 19 1/3 innings in his 16 appearances. He’ll need a strong showing in the spring to crack the Twins’ Opening Day bullpen.

Harris finished the season at Triple-A Rochester and will now be a minor league free agent at the conclusion of the Fall Classic after being removed from Washington’s 40-man roster. The 30-year-old righty posted a pedestrian 5.12 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 9/13 K/BB ratio across 19 1/3 innings (16 appearances) this season in his first taste of the majors.

He’s getting bumped to make room for Robert Garcia, who was claimed off waivers from the Marlins yesterday. Harris was called up on Monday and pitched a scoreless inning last night. The 30-year-old rookie has a 5.12 ERA in 16 appearances on the season.

Harris gets the call back to the majors with starter Trevor Williams away from the club for a couple days on the bereavement list. The 30-year-old rookie right-hander posted a respectable 5.40 ERA, 1.80 WHIP and 9/12 K/BB ratio across 18 1/3 innings (15 appearances) prior to being optioned to the minors in late May.

Harris made Washington’s season opening roster and pitched admirably this season in middle relief, compiling a serviceable 5.40 ERA, 1.80 WHIP and 9/12 K/BB ratio across 18 1/3 innings. The 29-year-old journeyman will head back to the minors to wait for another opportunity.

Harris, 29, won a bullpen spot after allowing just one run with a 7/2 K/BB ratio over 10 innings this spring. He will be making his major league debut when he gets into a game.

Harris spent the last eight years in the minors with three different organizations before signing a minor league pact last November with the Nationals. The 29-year-old righty reliever allowed just one run on three hits with a 7/2 K/BB ratio across 10 innings (eight appearances) this spring in the Grapefruit League to earn his first shot in the majors.

Espino heading to the minors means the club will carry several interesting relievers on their season-opening roster including Rule 5 selection Thaddeus Ward, lefty Anthony Banda and righty Hobie Harris.
