Heyne has gotten stronger in the past year, adding lean muscle mass, and now stands 6-foot-1, 186-pounds. The right-handed hitter’s hands works really well with strength at contact and quickness through the zone to produce gap power with a top exit velocity of 90 mph. He ran a 7.61 60-yard dash and threw 85 mph across the diamond with a clean arm swing and carry. A two-way player and right-handed pitcher, Heyne works from a ¾ slot with an up-tempo, aggressive delivery. Good hip turn at the top of his leg lift and long stride down the mound, to uncoil his hips with an athletic finish and his arm works well out front. Fastball has tilt and sink at 79-83 mph. Releases his curveball from the same window at 71 mph, the pitch has good shape and 10/4 rotation and flashes later break at times. Moving forward, Heyne has two-way potential and will be fun to follow this coming high school season.

 

 


10.21.17
Heyne has an athletic, high-waisted, long-limbed, projectable frame at 6-foot-1, 175-pounds. A two-way player and right-handed hitter with quick-twitch hands. Heyne starts from a slightly open stance with good flex in his lower half and rhythm in his hands. Uses a smooth load as he triggers his hands back with a reverse leg lift. Short stride, lands balanced, rotates his lower half as he transfers his weight through contact. Short, flat path to contact, line drive approach with a loose finish produced an exit velocity of 82 mph. In the outfield, he plays with a bounce in his step as he comes through the ball with an athletic transfer and smooth crow hop, making accurate throws to the plate at 83 mph. On the infield, Heyne made accurate throws at 85 mph across the diamond and shows soft hands as he plays through the ball. On the mound, the right-hander works from high slot with a quick, loose arm stroke, drop-and-drive delivery and an athletic finish. His fastball ranges from 80-82 mph with late, arm side life. He shows feel for a slider with lateral 10-4 shape at 72-75 mph. His curveball has 11/5 shape with downward bite at 67-68 mph. Throws his changeup with fastball arm speed and arm side fade at 70 mph.
