LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 Summer Gulf Coast Showcase
Raphael Hayes is a 2022 RHP/3B/UT with a 6-3 168 lb. frame from Mendenhall, MS who attends Mendenhall. Very long and lean frame with good physical projection. Ran a 7.40 second 60-yard dash. Primary righthanded pitcher, compact delivery with good drive down the mound and attacks the zone with a two-pitch mix; fastball has good arm side run and sink to it as he commands the bottom half from a three-quarters slot while the breaking ball is tight and breaks out of 11-to-5 shape with some depth through the zone. Also worked out in the infield, athletic lower half as he works to the ball, fields it cleanly and shows good carry on his throws across. Righthanded hitter, aggressive approach looking to do damage at the dish, strides in well and swings hard with good feel for the barrel, stays through the ball to the middle of the field and impacts it well.
