Matthew Hayter
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. Hayter also has a decent changeup. The Free Agents hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. His composure needs work. When Hayter starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting Hayter is nothing special in the field. He doesn't have much of a pickoff move and he's slow getting the ball to home plate out of the set position. Hayter is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Hayter has some pop in his swing.
2025 Outlook I can't say I know what The Free Agents were doing locking this guy up to a long term contract. A questionable call at best. I just don't know if The Free Agents are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
