With a slow start to his 2024 season, Hines is now heating up in SEC play. After homering in game one of the Texas A&M series, the left-handed slugger was at it again in game two, reaching base five times including another home run. It’s easy power to all fields, but it is not light tower raw power that his 6-foot-3, 215-pound frame may suggest. His maximum exit velocity this season is 111 mph. As a point of reference, the average on the Major League scale is 110-111. Limited to first base defensively, it’s all about hitting with power for him and prospects of his type. Expect Hines' name to be considered starting around the 5th round.

Cape CodNot only did Hines become the first player on the Cape to have a double-digit home run total since Bobby Dalbec in 2015, but with 13 regular-season home runs, he also set the wood bat home run record for the CCBL, and he hit one more in the postseason for good measure. Combined with the 38 home runs he’s hit over two seasons at Mississippi State, it goes without saying that his standout tool is light tower power that is among the best in the 2024 draft class. That power comes with a decent number of strikeouts, but Hines’ strikeout rate isn’t exorbitant given how productive he is and that’s a trade-off that Yarmouth-Dennis, Mississippi State and the future MLB organization that drafts him is willing to make. At 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds, Hines provides a big target defensively at first base, but his defensive value is limited, and as a result, he’s spent more time at DH thus far in his career than at first. His value is tied to his power, but if he continues to hit for power like this, that won’t be an issue.
