Johnhenry Hayden
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. If you're going in to face Hayden, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. His windup, though, makes him an easy target to run on. Hayden is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hayden has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Hayden as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook One has to wonder what Johnhenry Hayden is doing in AA. In all honesty, he could use a lot of work on the fundamentals in the low minors. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Hayden.
