Scout’s note

Hayes, a 2015 first-round pick out of Tomball, TX, owns a career .247 average with 44 home runs across 675 big-league games. Our engine reads the results as running behind the bat; that gap is the breakout signal, and it was validated on a pre-registered holdout before we trusted it.

Current signals

The read: Hayes is hitting the ball harder than 28% of the 307 qualified MLB hitters in our sample (EV95 104.5; league median 106.0), while his results on contact run further below the physics than 99% of them. Loud bat, quieter stat line — the breakout shape; he ranks No. 1 of 20 on the breakout board.
