LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2015 Southeast Top Prospect Showcase  
James (Alex) Haynes is a 2016 RHP/3B with a 6-3 185 lb. frame from Knoxville, TN who attends Central HS. Large athletic build, plenty of room to get stronger, projects well physically. Good athlete who fields his position well, has a loose, whippy arm, 3/4's arm slot with some downward plane, works from the stretch, quick arm and uses his core and lower half well to create power. Fastball up to 91 mph, keeps the ball low in the zone well, can ride it above hitter's hands as well, gets lots of fastball life, ball gets on hitters quickly. Nice change up with solid arm speed and deception. Tends to get around his slider for more of a sweeping break, breaks early. Has energy to his delivery and the mechanics are difficult to repeat at present, simplifying and repeating will be key to his taking the next step. Good student, verbal commitment to Walters State CC.
