07/05/2019 - California Select Training & Competition - Session 1 (Ages 12-14) Hayden is a hard working 2026 2-way prospect that brought a lot of positive energy and wanted to get better every day. Behind the dish, Hayden starts in an athletic position but catches the ball too deep into his body. He needs to continue to work behind the ball and see the ball into his glove. He gets behind the ball when blocking but needs to anticipate the balls in the dirt. When throwing he replaces his feet and makes accurate throws. At the plate, Hayden starts in an open stance and loads his hands back. He's aggressive on fastballs, gets his front foot down on time, and rotates his backside. He needs to continue to attack the inside part of the ball and keep the barrel flat to the ball. On the bump, Hayden gathers over the rubber, separates on time, and works downhill. He throws his curveball for strikes but needs to continue to throw his fastball down in the zone. Hayden is a smart kid and makes adjustments to hitters. Hayden will continue to improve with experience and we hope to see his progress in the future.
