Hayden Palmer is a 2021 SS/2B with a 6-1 165 lb. frame from Tucson, AZ who attends Pusch Ridge Christian Academy. Hayden shows sound fundamental ability that is highlighted by his quickness. He ran a commendable 7.10 60-yard dash. On the IF, Hayden reads the ball well and uses his quick and smooth footwork to play behind and through the ball. His fielding action and glovework is consistently smooth. He transitions well and his 80-mph throws are routinely accurate. On the mound, Hayden uses conventional mechanics and a short, compact arm stroke out of high 3/4 slot. He pitches off his well-commended 80-82 mph FB that shows natural arm side run. He compliments his FB with a 11-to-5 shaped, 65-mph breaking ball that showed late bite at the dish. At the plate, Hayden uses a closed stance and a flatter, line-drive swing plane to spray the ball especially well to the pull side of the field. He shows routine bat-to-ball ability.
