View Draft Report

Haynes went under the radar in the North Carolina high school ranks, but was trending the right direction this year before the season shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic. Listed at 6-foot-4, 170 pounds, Haynes has plenty of projection left and has already seen his velocity start to tick up from the upper-80s fastball he showed last summer. He mixes in a breaking ball that he’ll need to tighten up, but with more strength gains he should be able to do so. Haynes is committed to North Carolina.

Organization Prospect Rankings

BA Grade: 45/Extreme

Track Record: Haynes played just one game his senior year due to the coronavirus pandemic, but then-Padres minor leaguer Seth Frankoff worked out with Haynes during the shutdown and recommended him to the club. The Padres drafted Haynes in the fifth round in 2020 and signed him for an above-slot $300,000. Haynes has struggled to stay healthy since signing. He had Tommy John surgery that delayed his pro debut until 2023 and pitched only 25.1 innings at Low-A Lake Elsinore while being hampered by blisters. He was scheduled to pitch in the Arizona Fall League after the season but was shut down with a balky shoulder.

Scouting Report: A tall, lanky lefthander, Haynes got stronger during his Tommy John rehab and saw his fastball velocity jump. His fastball sits 92-95, up from 87-91 mph in high school, and projects to be an above-average pitch as he gets stronger. His slurvy, 83-86 mph curveball flashes average, and he effectively sells his average, mid-80s changeup with fade. Haynes is a good athlete with a repeatable delivery and projects to have fringe-average control.

The Future: Haynes is talented but has to stay healthy to fulfill his back-of-the-rotation potential. He’ll move to High-A Fort Wayne in 2024.

Scouting Grades Fastball: 55 | Curveball: 50 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 45
TRACK RECORD: Haynes went under the radar in tiny Cerro Gordo, N.C. and pitched only one game before the coronavirus pandemic canceled his high school senior season. Padres righthander Seth Frankoff, who also lives in Cerro Gordo, worked out with Haynes during the shutdown and recommended him to the Padres' scouting staff, who knew Haynes from previous showcases. The Padres drafted Haynes in the fifth round and signed him for an above-slot $300,000 to forgo a North Carolina commitment.

SCOUTING REPORT: Haynes is a tall, projectable lefthander who was the youngest pitcher selected in the 2020 draft. His fastball ranges from 87-93 mph with running life out of a clean, athletic delivery, and his wide shoulders portend future strength and velocity gains. Haynes' breaking ball is slurvy and he'll need to tighten it, but it shows average or better potential. He decently sells his fringy changeup with light fade. Haynes has the delivery and athleticism for average or better control, though he'll need time and experience to get there. He is an edgy competitor who isn't fazed by falling behind in the count.

THE FUTURE: Haynes is all projection but has lots of promising ingredients. The Padres think he could be a draft steal.
