==Life and career==
Harrington was born in Brentwood, New York on August 12, 1995 to Jim and Alice Harrington. He was drafted in the 1st round, 9th overall in 2014 by the Charlotte Lions. Harrington has been widely regarded as one of the best defensive center fielders in the game. According to some reports, his ability to track down balls hit to the outfield is "unlike any other player to play the position". His speed rating of 91 paired with his contact skills make him a dangerous leadoff batter as well. However, one drawback is his arm rating; at only 74, it ranks fairly low among center fielders, and for this reason Charlotte will occasionally use Harrington as a second baseman, a position which he played quite a bit of in high school.
