Biographical Information

Pitcher Greg Harris was selected by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 17th round of the 2013 amateur draft. Although he went to high school in Los Alamitos, CA, he was born on Cape Cod, in Massachusetts.

Harris made his debut with the AZL Dodgers in 2013, going 2-3, 5.29 in 10 games, including 7 starts. In 2014, he moved to the Great Lakes Loons of the Midwest League, where he went 7-6, 4.45 in 22 games. In 87 innings, he allowed 88 hits and 28 walks, but struck out 92 batters. On November 20th, the Dodgers traded him to the Tampa Bay Rays along with P Jose Dominguez in return for veteran major league reliever Joel Peralta and prospect Adam Liberatore. The Rays were obviously impressed by the fact he held his own against much older competition, as he was three years younger than the average Midwest League player.

After pitching for the AA Montgomery Biscuits in 2017, going 3-8. 4.90 in 38 games, his career was derailed by injuries. He missed all of 2018, then only pitched 3 games on a rehabilitation for the GCL Rays in 2019. He was released on July 22nd that year. After the disruptions caused throughout professional baseball by the COVID-19 pandemic, he tries to re-start his career in the independent leagues in 2021, but with only limited success. He went 3-7, 7.12 in 14 games between the Chicago Dogs and Winnipeg Goldeyes of the American Association before calling it a career.

He is the fourth pitcher to be named Greg Harris in recent times. The three others were contemporaries in the 1980s, two of whom pitched in the major leagues, including his father, Greg Harris. His brother, Trent Harris, also pitched in the minors, while another brother, Drake Harris, played baseball in college although he never turned pro.
