Brooksbaseball.net has a great Pitch F/X tool. So, building on the fanpost by Desert Ranger, I've copied some of the information from the Brooksbaseball.net site that shows Harrison's four-seam fastball has a lot different movement on it now than in the early part of the season. In fact, his four-seam fastball movement is looking quite a bit like Holland's, though without the velocity.
Another difference between Holland and Harrison is that Holland's slider follows a path similar to his fastball until about 20 feet from home plate. Harrison has no pitches that follow a similar path.
