2/23/20 Pitching Delivery Notes: A quick sidestep to get the delivery going in an uptempo fashion. Shows good body control coming down the mound, and the ability to drive off the back leg well. As he gets older and stronger his velocity will increase and he will only get better. Fastball: Topped at 88 coming out of a high ¾ arm slot with arm side run. Fastball Spin Rates: 1800-2000. Curveball: Between 70-72 tight spin making it hard to pick up. Power breaking ball. Curveball Spin Rates: 2000-2200. Changeup: 76-79 maintains arm speed with good fading action keeping hitters off balance.
2/17/18 - 6-foot-3 and 170-pound right-handed pitcher with projectable frame. Delivery is compact with a slower tempo and slight pause at top of leg lift. Explodes off the mound through his stride in good direction. Uses a short arm action working through a high-3/4 slot. Showed the ability to locate the fastball. The pitch works downhill at 79-81 MPH. Breaking ball is still developing, the pitch has 11/5 shape and flashes sharpness at times while sitting 62-64 MPH. At 68-72 MPH, the Changeup was mostly straight and presently lacks command. Two-way prospect. At the plate the right-hander starts in a tall, open setup. Pre-launch movements are fluid and get started early. Creates consistent timing and finds plane well when he pulls the trigger. Offers a balanced arsenal of strength/bat speed through the zone. Does a very nice job of staying inside the baseball allowing him to generate regular backspin to the middle of the field. Impressive pop for class with obvious upside at the plate.

2/11/18 - Max FB: 84, FB: 82-84, CB: 64-66, CH: 69-72 6-foot-3, 170 pound RHP has gained 10 pounds since the fall. Highly projectable frame. Has shown big velocity increase since June 2017. Clean arm action works through an over-the-top arm slot. Uses leverage well. Fastball has some tilt at the bottom of the zone. Curbveball continues to develop. Gradual 12/6 breaker. Good feel. Good feel for changeup with some fade. Haines is a definite high follow in the 2020 class with more velocity likely to come. Has potential to make Team KY Future Games roster.
6/14/17 - 6-foot-3, 160-pound projectable body frame. Showcased well defensively in the outfield. Has good footwork fielding ground balls and transitions smoothly into a good crow hop. Throws with a clean arm action through an upper ¾ slot while recording 76 mph velocity from the outfield. A right-handed hitter that starts in a tall, open setup. Hands stay quiet during his toe turn load. Swing is level and compact. Produces solid barrel whip through contact. Ball comes off his bat well and there is more in there as he fills out his projectable frame. The tall, lanky righty uses a high leg lift with Very clean takeaway out of the glove along with clean arm action before coming thru a high ¾ slot. As he matures physically will see significant velocity increase. Fastball shows some life at 73-77 mph. Changeup works well with a downward action at 66-67 mph. Breaking ball has 11/5 bite and some tightness at 62-67 mph. 60-yard Dash: 7.65 Outfield Velocity: 76 Exit Velocity: 75
