Haberer

4/26/13 - Eastern Illinois recruit. Putting up All-State type numbers this season. The 6-foot-2, 205-pounder has 5 homers, 7 doubles and 31 RBI at the plate; is 3-0 with 2.42 ERA on mound. Features mid-to-upper-80s fastball. Currently ranked No. 68 in Illinois’ 2013 class.

Haberer is an athletic six-foot-1, 185-pound RHP/SS who showed all around athleticism in his game. On the mound, Haberer has good rhythm and a live arm. Coming from a high ¾ arm slot, Haberer throws a heavy fastball that sat 85-85 mph, topping out at an event best 87 mph and was consistently down in the strike zone. His breaking ball (66-67 mph) has an 11-to-5 shape with near fastball arm speed and looks to be a tough pitch on right hand hitters, with the pitch breaking over the inside part of the plate. He also flashed a 75-77 mph change up with fastball arm speed and arm side movement. Haberer also impressed in the field, showing quick feet and defensive actions, along with solid carry across the infield (84 mph). At the plate, Haberer hits with a balanced setup and little movement. His swing is extremely quick and compact, as barreled up the ball driving it hard to all fields.
