Hayes is listed at an attention-grabbing 6-foot-6, 190 pounds, with obviously long levers and a high waist that has him towering over peers. While working a tall/fall style with a short stride, a high ¾ slot with an upright finish, and a short arm action that he repeats well given his age and size. The fastball is packed with projection, evidenced by its average spin rate of 2,260 rpm that already generates high vertical action for its 79-81 mph velo range. The curveball offers a short wrinkle action while spinning at 2,300 rpm, and the changeup averaged 1,600 rpm with effective arm-side run and fade.

6-foot-2, 140 pounds; thin, lanky frame with long levers. A right-handed hitter, demonstrated some barrel feel over the weekend by going 4-for-8 and he used his levers to create some firmer contact than expected. Short, simple bat path off an uphill plane. Barreled a deep double to left-center against Cangelosi Sparks North.
