LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2004 Sunshine East Showcase
Ryan Hayes is a 2005 strong bodied catcher from Middleburg, FL, with definite Division I tools offensively and defensively. Hayes’ actions are short and compact on defense and he shows big league arm strength with pop times consistently around the 2.00 mark. He took one of the best batting practices in Fort Myers, showing a quick bat with well above average hand strength from a tall, no stride approach. The ball really jumped off Hayes’ bat and he had some good game at bats as well. Hayes also threw an inning of relief, touching 82 mph with his fastball and striking out two of the three hitters he faced. He has a good feel for the game. He can play at a very high level.
