How Michael Harris II Went From One of the WORST Hitters in Baseball to One of the BEST

One year ago, Michael Harris II went 178 straight plate appearances without drawing a walk - the longest such streak by a Braves hitter in the team's Atlanta history - and was hitting .205, the sixth-lowest average of any qualified hitter in the sport. Today he's one of the most dangerous bats in the National League with a top-of-the-league expected batting average, and they still left him off the All-Star team.

This is the full story of Michael Harris II - the rise, the fall, and the comeback. From a flower-picking kid in Stockbridge, Georgia, to NL Rookie of the Year, to rock bottom, to the biggest second-half turnaround baseball has seen since 1933. We break down the amateur climb, the minor league ladder (and the Triple-A level he skipped entirely), his debut against a future Cy Young winner, the collapse, the one swing change that flipped everything, and the analytical case for why this comeback is real.
