LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2024 Sunshine Southwest Showcase
Hayden Keeney is a 2026 LHP with a 6-0 155 lb. frame from Hanford, CA who attends Lemoore. Slender young build with lots of room to get stronger. Throws from a high 3/4's arm slot with a short arm takeaway in back, tall start with tall and fall mechanics to the plate, stays in line well but doesn't get much drive from his lower half, calm tempo with the ability to repeat. Worked mostly in the mid-70's with his fastball, topped out at 80 mph early, works his fastball to the corners and pitches to contact. Tunneled his slider well with his fastball with a short break and shape. Velocity will keep improving with adjustments and additional physical maturity and strength. Worked out in the outfield has good fundamentals through the ball and into his transition, made accurate throws. Left handed hitter, hits from an upright stance with a tight hand load and a simple strike into contact, tends to pull off early with his front side, pulled some balls when he stayed directional through contact. Good student.
