#49 Landon Harmon
RHP East Union (MS)
18/years old 6' 5" 190
COMMITTED - Mississippi
State
Scouting grades: Fastball: 65 |
Slider: 50 | Changeup: 45 | Control: 50 | Overall: 50
Mississippi has produced just one
prep pitcher selected in the top two rounds since the turn of the century:
unsigned Dodgers first-rounder J.T. Ginn in 2018. The Magnolia State may have
another in Harmon, who combines velocity and projectability better than most
high school arms in the 2025 Draft. He can run his fastball to 98 mph with ease
and can add a lot more strength to his slender 6-foot-5 frame.
Harmon sat at 93-95 mph with his
fastball during the showcase circuit, delivering it on a flat approach angle
with carry and arm-side run. His breaking ball ranges from the upper 70s to the
low 80s and varies between a slurve and a sweeper, showing flashes of becoming
a solid slider but lacking consistency. He hasn't had much need or shown much
feel for his low-80s changeup.
For a tall teenager, Harmon does a
nice job of keeping his delivery in sync and pounding the strike zone, though
he'll sometimes rush his mechanics with runners on base. The Mississippi State
commit moves well and uses his size to create extension that allows his pitches
to get on hitters quickly. He generates premium velocity with athleticism and
arm speed rather than effort and could be a frontline starter with continued
development of his secondary pitches.

look at the top 20 high school prospects entering the spring
17. Landon Harmon, RHP, Blue Springs
(Mississippi)
Harmon is a lean 6-foot-5, with
projectable power, and the ball already explodes out of his hands, reaching 98
mph at times. He can get a strikeout in nearly any showdown, but if he can
remain a starter could depend on if he can develop secondary pitches, which
still need some work.

24. Landon Harmon – RHP
HT/WT: 6’5/188 | Bat/Throw: R/R |
School: East Union Attendance Center (MS) | Commitment: Mississippi State |
Age: 18.10
One of the biggest risers in this
year’s summer circuit, Harmon possesses one of the best fastballs in the entire
class.
The heater jumps out of the hand from
a wide angle thanks to Harmon’s crossfire and catches hitters by surprise,
darting away from righties with slight cutting action and some riding life.
He’s already been up to 98 MPH in brief stints, quickly settling into the
low/mid-90s across longer outings.
The fastball also possesses extremely
loud spin rates, as he’s been clocked in the 2,600 RPM range at times. He has
electric arm speed and controls his body well down the mound, allowing him to
throw a solid amount of strikes that should improve as he becomes more
polished.
Harmon’s sweeper lacks power and can
get a bit inconsistent, but it plays best in the low-80s and he can generate up
to 15 inches of sweep at its best. The expectation is that Harmon will begin to
throw it with more conviction in due time. He’s got a firm mid-80s change-up,
as well. Harmon is a key piece in a stout Mississippi State recruiting class.

One of the biggest risers in this

strikes that should get better as he becomes more polished. His breaking ball
has been a bit inconsistent, jumping between an upper-70s slurve and a firmer
low-80s slider, but there's upside in the pitch as there's some late depth and
sweep when it's on. As he develops further, there's a good chance he'll
generate a power slider. There is a change-up in there, though it's rarely
used. Harmon is currently committed to attending Mississippi State.

2024 National Showcase
Landon Harmon is a 2025 RHP/OF with a
6-5 188 lb. frame from New Albany, MS who attends East Union Attendance Center.
Long and slender build. Has a low effort delivery with a compact arm action to
a high 3/4's arm slot. Fastball topped out at 96 mph early and settled down at
92-93, has very good command of his fastball to the arm side, high spin
fastball characteristics and ended up breaking two bats. Sweeping slider was a
good pitch for him, big depth to it up to 16" of IHB, has good feel for
the sweeper to both left and right handed hitters. Didn't show a change up.
Good student, verbal commitment to Mississippi State. Selected to play in the
Perfect Game All-American Classic.
