News about Michael Harris II

Michael Harris II made an incredible leaping catch in a game-ending double play as the Atlanta Braves came from behind to stun the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday night. After being held hostless into the sixth inning, the Braves thrashed the Phillies 2-1, bringing the NL Division Series at a tie apiece. D'Arnaud, who started as catcher over stumbling Sean Murphy, gave the Braves a chance in the seventh season's left-field seats, bringing Philadelphia's lead to 4-3.

Sean Murphy, the Atlanta Braves' catcher, has agreed to a seven-year deal, securing another key player in a long-term contract. The agreement includes a $15 million club option for 2029 with no buyout, potentially boosting the total value of the deal to $88 million. Murphy will make $4 million in 2023, $9 million in 2024, and $15 million per season from 2025 to 2028. He promised to give one-tenth of his annual paycheck to the Atlanta Braves Foundation.

Julio Rodrez of Seattle was named American League Rookie of the Year, while the Braves' Michael Harris II was named National League Rookie of the Year on Monday. On Monday, the 21-year-old center fielders were voted Rookies of the Year after seasons of fire and speed that culminated in early postseason withdrawal. When assisting the Mariners in the postseason for the first time since 2001, Rodriguez hit.284 with 28 home runs, 75 RBIs, and 25 stolen bases.
