Harry Ford Called Up for Major-League Debut
Harry Ford has been called up to the majors from Triple-A Tacoma for what will be his major-league debut. The Mariners' fourth-ranked prospect was having a productive season for the Rainiers, hitting .283 with 16 home runs while boasting a .408 OBP thanks to a phenomenal 16.2 percent walk rate. After stealing 82 bases over the prior three seasons, Ford's production took a dip there this year with just seven steals in 97 games, but if he gets back to swiping bags, it is a trait that would set him apart from most other catchers, making him even more appealing for fantasy. With Cal Raleigh blocking his current path to playing time, it's unclear how regular his at-bats with the Mariners will be, so fantasy managers in redraft leagues don't need to overspend on the 22-year-old, but the former first-round draft pick's arrow still points up in dynasty leagues.
