Garrett
Hayes

Young frame with room for growth ahead at 5 foot 10, 135-pounds.  Hits from the left side, starting with more weight on his back leg and his hands starting back, below his shoulder.  Loads knee to knee in his lower half with quiet hands.  Flat swing working mostly middle to the opposite field.  Exit velocity recorded at 68 mph and will improve as the body matures.  Active feet on the infield working to the ball.  Catches the ball with a narrow base and his hands out front.  Clean exchanges with a long arm action, throwing from a high ¾ slot.  Some accuracy to his throws to first base that topped at 64 mph.  Recorded a 7.20 in the 60.
On the mound the fastball worked 67-70, occasionally cutting out of the hand.  Breaking ball fights for action at 54-56.  Level and tall through balance, Hayes coils, closing his line.  Front side is early, bailing toward 1B.  There is some effort in a long, loose arm swing, working to a high-3/4 slot.
