    Haehnel enjoyed tremendous success out of the bullpen in his first two years in college, posting a 1.08 ERA as a redshirt freshman in 2002, then leading the Horizon League with nine saves and ranking as the Jayhawk League's top prospect last summer. Moved to the rotation this year, he has continued to make batters swing and miss at his 88-93 mph sinker. His changeup is a well-above-average pitch at times, but he'll need to improve his breaking ball to start at the next level. It's serviceable at best, and he may be better off using a cutter.
