Scouting Report
07/29/17- Committed to North Carolina State University.
12/03/16- The 6-foot-1, 165-pound middle infielder carries an athletic frame with broad shoulders, good forearms, and high hips. At the plate the right handed hitter displayed a balanced stance with low hands. The bat path was smooth and direct to the ball showcasing backspin line drives around the field. Defensively, Haymaker’s athleticism showcased a quick first step and athleticism around the ball. Arm action lacks the fluidness you desire but the arm is strong and the ball carries well across the field. He has plenty of upside and is only going to get better.
9/23/16 - The athletic, high waisted middle infielder has a very lean and projectable frame. He hits from a wide base and uses a simple load, but still manages to use the lower half well. He has a level path through the zone and a gap-to-gap line drive approach in which he consistently found the barrel. He also showed good actions at short with enough arm strength and good enough footwork to project to stay there. Very interesting going forward.
