Kalen Haynes is a 2016 1B/LHP with a 6-6 270 lb. frame from Trophy Club, TX who attends Byron Nelson. Extra-large, broad shouldered frame with long limbs and physical strength throughout frame. Primary first baseman, short arm action on throws across the diamond, comes off the bag well, gets on top of ball, accurate throws across with easy release. Also pitched, throws from a three-quarter arm slot with a short stride down the mound. Easy arm action, fills up the strike zone with fastball that topped 74 mph and showed a breaking ball with 2-8 shape. Left-handed hitter, starts with an easy stance, high back elbow and leg lift timing trigger. Very short path to the ball, hands stay in through swing and creates big jump off the barrel. Line drive swing plane, creates line drive contact to all fields, flashes extension out front and gets the barrel through the zone. Occasionally gets to front side early, hardest contact came to pull side. Good student.
