Camden Hayslip

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #117 prospect in 2021 draft
  A physical, 6-foot-3, 205-pound outfielder who’s also a talented football and basketball player, Hayslip has an intriguing package of tools, but scouts have questions about his pure hitting ability. There’s no doubt that Hayslip has impressive bat speed and plenty of raw power to the pull side. Scouts have mentioned he grades out very well in some quantifiable barrel metrics, including barrel connection, bat speed and rotational acceleration, but most scouts also wonder about his pure feel for hitting and approach at the plate. There’s some barring action in his swing and scouts would like to see him use the opposite field more, but he was also difficult to evaluate this spring considering the lower-level competition he faced in Tennessee. He’s an above-average runner now with above-average arm strength to go with it that could make him a good fit in a corner outfield spot, where he will likely have enough raw power to profile well. Some scouts would give him a chance in center field to see if he can stick there, but given his frame and current physicality, most in the industry see him outgrowing the position. Hayslip is considered a fairly strong commit to Alabama and could be a tough sign, and he also got some collegiate interest on the football field from other programs. Hayslip’s father, Ben, is a notable country songwriter who has credits for a number of hit songs by artists like Tim Mcgraw, Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton and many others.
