Hayes is a third baseman with solid defense, good contact skills, and gap power. He’s got the potential to stick at third base, and could be a glove-first guy in the majors who provides value with his offense. He will most likely spend the 2015 season playing in the GCL, and if things go well enough, he could play for West Virginia in full season ball next year. No word yet on his bonus, which I imagine will come out after he officially signs. The slot value for his pick was $1,855,000.
