Attended Pro5 Baseball Academy in Raleigh, N.C., for his senior year of high school. Harris was one of the first to graduate from Pro5, the first full-time academy for baseball in North Carolina. Days at Pro 5 begin at 9 a.m., where Harris would take BP, infield grounders and then occasionally pitch until noon. After lunch, he’d return to school for an hour of weight training and then an independent study hall until 4:30 p.m. The academy was at the home of the Holly Springs Salamanders in the summer wood-bat Coastal Plain League...Because Pro5 doesn’t offer an academic curriculum, high school students who attend can take courses online. As far as the competition level, they play against junior college and NCAA Division II opponents as well as other academies...Harris’ junior year of high school were completed at Heritage High School in Wake Forest, where he was Conference Player of the Year as a junior after recording a program-record 0.51 ERA in 51.2 innings. He also lettered in basketball at Heritage...His father, Greg W. Harris, pitched parts of eight seasons in the Majors with San Diego (1988-1993), Colorado (1993-1994) and Minnesota (1995). He went 45-64 with a 3.98 ERA, 605 strikeouts and a 1.30 WHIP in 243 games (109 starts)...Trent’s older brother, Drake, was an infielder who spent three seasons at USC Upstate before transferring to Queens University of Charlotte...Trent’s delivery reminds some evaluators of former Giant Tim Lincecum’s delivery, in part because of their slim builds but also for the arm angle. Harris told the San Francisco Chronicle at the Futures Game last year: “I hear Lincecum a bunch. I think it’s being so over the top. And I was a huge Lincecum fan, just loved the way he went about his business and he has so much success. He really figured it out and I would love to do the same.”...Added a splitter to his pitch arsenal last season (2025) at the advice of a Giants assistant Minor League pitching coordinator Matt Yourkin. Harris said he worked with him in Arizona, playing around with different grips until they found one that stuck: a mix between a kick change and a split (birdy).
