Dec 2020 Report
Evaluator: Jason Kamlowsky
Age: 22 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 200 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2020 Draft - Round 2
RuleV: 2023
Physical Description: Long and lean, carries his 200 pounds well. Athletic build. Muscular, well-defined lower half. Could stand to add some weight in his upper body. Could easily play at 210 or 215. Above average straight-line speed. Enough strength to eventually develop into a power threat.
Hit: Swing is ugly, but effective. Aggressive approach. Upright, slightly open stance. Hands start right above his ear. Pronounced leg kick with noticeable weight shift that causes his lower half to drift through the zone at times. Legs tend to bow when getting through hitting zone. Backside can collapse when trying to go to the opposite field. Gets bat head to the zone well with quick hands. Will make contact on a consistent basis. Doesn't strike out a lot. Grade: 40
Power: Big, strong kid who has above average power to his pull-side. Opposite field power needs work. Swing generates natural loft. Will need to improve his lower half mechanics to unlock peak power profile. Grade: 40
Field: Potential plus defender with great instincts. Never made an error in college. Can play all three outfield positions. Takes good angles to the ball. Has plenty of range to run down balls in the gap. Attacks the ball in the outfield. High baseball IQ. Grade: 50
Arm: Plus arm strength with overhand release. Gets good carry. Throws are usually on target around the bag. Good balance in his throw and his body stays underneath him. Arm tool should carry as he advances. Grade: 50
Run: Elite speed. Clocks 4.10 to 4.15 consistently. Wasn't asked to run a lot in college. Speed isn't used as a weapon offensively. Needs to be more aggressive on the bases. Can track down most balls in the outfield. Speed should help him advance quickly. Grade: 60
Overall: If you like toolsy outfielders, Haskin is your guy. Already has good size and speed which should play up as he advances. Will need to walk more and change his approach at the plate to adjust to the Major League level. The swing is unconventional but gets the job done so it will be interesting to see how much the Orioles tinker with him. If the hit tool and power develop, we could be talking about an everyday starter with room for more. Defensively he will be able to play all three outfield spots which, in a system starved for position players, should benefit him. There is a reasonably wide ranges of outcomes here but if everything comes together, the tools are there for him to an everyday regular and potential leadoff hitter.
