Joshua Isaiah Harrison

Bats:  Right  Throws:  Right  Height:  5'8"  Weight:  190
Opening Day Age:  35
Born:  July 8, 1987, Cincinnati, OH

Major League Teams:  Pittsburgh Pirates 2011-2018; Detroit Tigers 2019; Washington Nationals 2020-2021; Oakland Athletics 2021; Chicago White Sox 2022; Philadelphia Phillies 2023

This marks the 13th year for Josh Harrison in the major leagues, and he spent his first eight seasons with the Pirates.  To date, he's played every position except catcher, with most of his playing time coming at second or third base.  An All-Star with the Pirates in 2014 and 2017, Harrison finally joined the Phillies in 2023 after a false start in 2020.  He likely should have been added to the roster during that pandemic-shortened season, but the Phillies opted to go with players earning less, keeping them under the salary cap.

Because he spent spring training (or summer camp) with the Phillies in 2020, he appeared two late season Topps releases with the club - Topps Update and Topps Heritage High Numbers.
