Arm trouble led to elbow ligament surgery the following June.<br\/><br\/>The 2008 Naval Academy graduate became the first Annapolis grad to play in the majors since Nemo Gaines made four relief appearances with the Washington Senators in 1921.<br\/><br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, Harris gave up two earned runs in two innings spread over two April appearances with Memphis, the Cardinals&#8217; Triple-A affiliate, before going on the disabled list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Cardinals selected Harris in the 13th round of the 2008 MLB draft. He requested a service waiver shortly after reporting to his first ship, he told Navy Times in 2015, but was denied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2012, the service granted a waiver request that allowed him to shave the last few months off his service commitment and report to spring training. He went 4-1 with a 0.83 ERA for the Single-A State College (Pennsylvania) Spikes and began his rise up the Cardinals&#8217; organization, eventually making his MLB debut on April 25, 2015, against the Milwaukee Brewers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The pitcher missed all of 2016 with arm problems.
