07/28/2024 - BF Evaluation Experience at Myrtle Beach Hayden Fairhurst is a 2029 catcher who has a squared set up behind the plate. When receiving he has a good tendency to present. He throws from a 3/4 arm slot, and although there are currently some restrictions with his arm action, he can develop that with good reps behind the plate. He will also learn to stay athletic when making throws as opposed to standing straight up. All of these developments will help improve his accuracy along with his fluidity when making his throws. Hayden bats from the right side and showed signs of being a good hitter. He has great balance and had very good bat-to-ball skills. His bat speed is well above average, and he has a tendency to pull the ball often. Once he learns how to sit back on off speed pitches, he will then be able to use the entire field. We're excited to see what the future holds for Hayden.
