Harris, who was a massive 6’7” tall and 245 Lbs, originally came up in 1970, appearing in the first two games of his Major League career for the Astros, not factoring in a decision and posting an ERA of 5.68 over 6.1 innings pitched.
The following year, he appeared in 20 games, going 1-1 with an ERA of 6.46 over 30.2 innings, all out of the bullpen, with 21 strikeouts and 16 base on balls.
He’d go and spend the next two seasons in the Minor Leagues, 1972 for the Astros’ organization and 1973 in the New York Mets’ system, before retiring for good after a series of arm problems cut his career short at the age of only 24.
