The maximum speed, in the direction of home plate, that the wrist is traveling. Measured in meters per second (m/s)
Arm Slot
Angle of the forearm relative to the ground between maximum external rotation (MER) and ball release (BR). Which can be a powerful player comparison metric, delivered in degrees.
Knee Extension Velo
The angular velocity of the front knee straightening after foot plant, which provides indicators of velocity potential. Measured in degrees per second.
Deception
The amount of time that the ball is visible to the hitter, after the instant of front foot strike. Measures in milliseconds.
Hip-Shoulder Separation
The difference in angle of between the hips and shoulders, occurring close to the foot plant. Measured in degrees.
RHP Anderson Hayes (Oconomowoc, 2024; Valparaiso commit) is listed at an attention grabbing 6-foot-7, 215-pounds and he put together a solid ‘pen during out time in Windsor. Hayes ran his two-different fastballs, a two-seam and a four-seam, up to 84.6 mph and sat 83-84 mph. The four-seam plays mostly straight with some occasional arm-side run; the two-seam features more run, roughly more than 13’ on average. One of the more impressive things about his fastball is that he spins it at an average of 2534 rpm which makes this pitch seem even that much harder. Hayes’ feel to spin transfers over to his curveball that averages 2556 rpm and plays with short 11/5 action. He also is able to effectively kill spin on a changeup, roughly 1640 rpm on average.

Hayes is a highly projectable 6-foot-6, 210-pound righty in this junior class, and this fall he broke out as a true pitching prospect. In the winter, we saw Hayes at the Madison Preseason ID, where he sat 79-81 mph with his fastball but it was packed with projection. This fall, we started to see this projection play out as he was able to run his fastball up to 86 mph with a clean and easy delivery. His breaking ball is also a suitable offspeed offering as it flashes late 11/5 break in the low-70s. With as much upside as Hayes brings to the mound, it wouldn’t be surprising if we start to see Hayes keep climbing in velocity as he continues his prep career.

Positional Profile: RHP/1B Body: 6-6, 190-pounds. Towering frame, high-waisted with long-limbs. Delivery: Tilt and topple delivery with some effort, short stride, lands close to home, upright finish.

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.

6-foot-6, 210-pound RHP Anderson Hayes (Oconomowoc, 2024) brings a high ceiling to the hill.
Sitting at an easy 83-85 mph with his fastball, clean out the hand & more to come. Spins a 72-74 mph breaking ball that flashes late break off an 11/5 plane. #PBRatTheRock | @GRBRayspic.twitter.com/vec5myuM22
