Sam Haggerty

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Seattle Mariners #25 prospect in 2020
  TRACK RECORD: As a table-setting second baseman for New Mexico, Haggerty hit .311 with a high walk rate in the high altitude of Albuquerque. He spent four nondescript seasons in the Indians' farm system, reaching Double-A, before he was traded to the Mets in January 2019 as part of the return for catcher Kevin Plawecki. He went 0-for-4 as a September callup, serving primarily as a pinch-runner. The Mariners claimed Haggerty off waivers after the season.
  
  SCOUTING REPORT: Haggerty played every position but first base and catcher in the minors in 2019 and drew attention in the Eastern League for his play at second base and also as the league's best baserunner. Haggerty is a 70-grade runner and switch-hitter who draws walks but makes virtually no extra-base impact. He is a spray hitter with well below-average power. Scouts prefer Haggerty in the outfield or at second base. His arm and footwork don't play as well on the left side of the infield.
  
  THE FUTURE: Haggerty has a modest ceiling afforded him by his speed, baserunning acumen and defensive versatility. His bat would need to find another gear to earn more than a utility role.

• March, 2021 Scouting Report
  TRACK RECORD: Originally drafted by the Indians in 2015, Haggerty made it to the big leagues for 11 games with the Mets in 2019. After the Mariners acquired the switch-hitting utilityman on waivers in the offseason, Haggerty started the summer at the alternate training site before getting into 13 games in the second half of August.
  
  SCOUTING REPORT: Haggerty's plus-plus speed, good instincts on the bases and ability to play multiple positions are his primary assets. He's a spray hitter with below-average power, but his history of drawing walks allows him to get on base enough to make his speed play. He has enough raw power to occasionally run into a few balls. Haggerty's average defense at second base and in the outfield will suffice as a bench player.
  
  THE FUTURE: Haggerty's speed and versatility may win him a spot on the 26-man roster. At the very least, he'll be a callup when his skill set is needed in Seattle.
