Physical 6'0" 200 lbs. frame with present strength throughout. The former Senior Games standout and LSU-Eunice recruit got off to a great start for the Bulldogs on opening night against Parkview Baptist. Hastings collected two doubles on the evening with one going to the pull-side gap and the other going to the oppostie field gap, showing the ability to drive the ball from gap to gap. Both of those base knocks were also in crucial points in the game, swinging the momentum to the Bulldogs favor. He also received and blocked well all evening, and had zero passed balls all night, while also throwing out one runner at second base.
