Biographical Information

Pitcher Kyle Harrison was selected by the San Francisco Giants in the 3rd round of the 2020 amateur draft, from a high school in Concord, CA. While in his school, he was a member of the USA junior national team that won silver at the 2019 U-18 Baseball World Cup held in Busan, South Korea. He was 1-0 with no runs in 10 innings, fanning 12. He tied for 10th in the event in K and tied Chien Yu for the best ERA. Yasunobu Okugawa beat him out for All-Star SP. He was offered a $2.5 million signing bonus to drop a strong commitment to attend UCLA.

He began his professional career in 2021, since the minor leagues were shut down in 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic. He played that season with the San Jose Giants of the Low-A West, going 4-3, 3.19 in 23 starts and logging 98 2/3 innings. He struck out a dominant 157 batters during those innings and was named an organizational All-Star after the season. In 2022, he started the year with the Eugene Emeralds of the Northwest League, going 0-1, 1.55 through 7 starts, with 59 strikeuots in 29 innings. He was then promoted to the AA Richmond Flying Squirrels and shortly thereafter was named to the National League squad for the 2022 Futures Game. However, things did not go well for him when he took the mound at Dodger Stadium on July 16th: in the 3rd inning, he gave up a pair of two-run homers, to Jasson Dominguez and Matt Wallner, failed to complete the inning and was charged with the 6-4 loss. He was again named to play in the 2023 Futures Game.

He is the grandson of Skip Guinn.
