According to Altoona Curve manager Robby Hammock, Thomas Harrington is getting promoted to the Indianapolis Indians.
Since joining the Pirates’ organization as a competitive balance pick (36th overall) out of Campbell University in 2022, Harrington has quickly become a top-tier pitching arm.
Despite missing the first month of this season, recovering from a shoulder injury, Harrington dominated the AA level with Altoona. In 68.1 innings thrown, he put up an ERA of 2.24, along with a 1.00 WHIP, and a .227 batting average against.
While the strikeout numbers have been impressive in 2024 for Harrington, with 74 in 68.1 innings (9.7 K/9), the control is absolutely excellent, walking just 10 batters (1.3 BB/9).
Harrington is currently ranked by MLB Pipeline as the sixth best prospect in the Pirates’ system.
