"Though he was drafted as a first baseman (and got some looks at third base early in his pro career), Harris has since moved to the outfield on a near-exclusive basis. He has just 21 innings at first base over the past three seasons (majors and minors combined). Harris hasn't played a single inning on the infield in the majors; he's been primarily a left fielder (131 innings), with occasional appearances in right field (49 innings) and even briefer cameos in center (24 innings)."
Dustin Harris cleared waivers after being designated for assignment and declined an outright assignment to Triple-A Sugar Land. He elected free agency and can sign with any club. Harris is 26 and has not broken out in the majors, posting a .225/.307/.371 batting line across 102 plate appearances over parts of three seasons. With Houston this season, he hit .233/.333/.302 in 52 plate appearances. His profile emphasizes contact and patience, with low strikeout rates and solid walk rates, along with strong out-of-zone contact in limited major-league data. In Triple-A, he has a .276/.366/.417 record with 11.2% walks and a 20.4% strikeout rate across 1308 plate appearances. He has shifted to the outfield nearly exclusively, with limited first-base time and modest defensive and power output.
