10X Vets Member Spotlight

 

Member: Mitch Harris, USNA ’08

Company: Financial Advisor, Merrill Lynch

Former Navy Lieutenant Mitch Harris has had the rare privilege of serving his country while also chasing his major league baseball dream. A native of Florida who grew up in Georgia, Harris began his military journey upon receiving a nomination to attend the U. S. Naval Academy.  Mitch was a pitcher and utility player on the Naval Academy baseball team all four years.

After graduating from the Naval Academy with a degree in General Engineering, Harris served onboard the USS Ponce (LPD 15) and USS Carr (FFG 52).  Following his five years of active duty, Harris joined the St. Louis Cardinals.  Though the first few years of the minor leagues brought their own struggles, Harris finally got back to his pitching form and was called up to the Major Leagues on April 21, 2015. On April 25, 2015, Mitch made his MLB debut against the Milwaukee Brewers, and in doing so became the first Naval Academy graduate to appear in the major leagues since 1921, and just the second to ever do so.

Mitch’s efforts were recognized by both the St. Louis Cardinals and the Boston Red Sox the following year. The St. Louis Baseball Writers presented him with the J. Roy Stockton/Broeg Award for Outstanding Achievement in Baseball, and the Boston Red Sox named him the Tony Conigliaro Award winner, which is given to a Major League Baseball player who has best “overcome an obstacle through spirit, determination, and courage that are trademarks of Conigliaro.”

Mitch now uses these same ideals while working with a selective group of families, business owners, and professional athletes to ensure they meet their goals and help them achieve their dreams as a Financial Advisor with Merrill Lynch in Atlanta, GA. Mitch has earned his Accredited Wealth Management Advisor℠ designation.
