Scouting Report

Assets
  • Primarily a two-pitch pitcher. That is, he throws hard and harder. When he locates the strike zone he can blow hitters away. With his size he is an intimidating presence on the mound.
Flaws
  • Prone to losing his focus, Haynes puts too many runners on and is unable to rebound. This problem is part control and part mental. By the fifth inning batters begin to catch up and he gets crushed beyond from the sixth on.
Career Potential
  • May no longer have big-league stuff.
