View Draft Report

A high school shortstop, Hauver has primarily played outfield during his three-year collegiate career because of the plethora of infielders on the Arizona State roster. He’s been a bat-first player, hitting in the middle of the Sun Devil lineup and posting an OPS of over 1.000 in each of the last two seasons. The biggest step forward for Hauver, who already had a good approach at the plate and good barrel control, was his improved pitch selection, walking more than he struck out during the abbreviated 2020 college season while still hitting for both average and power. He projects to have average or better power, but that pop comes with some swing-and-miss. Hauver will need to hit at the next level because he’s just an average defender or a tick below, with not enough range for center field or enough arm for right field. Some observers believe Hauver could be an average defender at third base, which could boost his draft stock if a team believes he has a shot at the position. He projects to go off the board somewhere in the second half of the top ten rounds.

Top Rankings

Organization Prospect Rankings

Track Record: Hauver was the third and final piece of the Yankees draft class in 2020. He was picked out of Arizona State, which saw all four members of its infield get selected despite the draft being just five rounds. Hauver started on fire at Low-A Tampa, where he hit six home runs in the first week of the season. He was part of the package the Yankees used to acquire Joey Gallo and Joely Rodriguez at the trade deadline.

Scouting Report: Hauver’s value is tied near exclusively to his bat. He has a strong knowledge of the strike zone and a swing geared toward loft, leading evaluators to believe he’ll post low batting averages but high on-base percentages. That showed up in his pro debut, when he posted a combined .416 OBP between both Class A levels. The Rangers believe he’ll blossom into more power as well. He’s unlikely to be much more than a below-average defender at either second base or the outfield, with the latter a more likely possibility moving forward because of struggles with throwing accuracy when he played at second or third base. He’s a below-average runner.

The Future: Hauver should move up to Double-A Frisco in 2022, when he’ll see if his offense plays at the upper levels. He has the ceiling of a second-division regular in left field.
TRACK RECORD: Despite the 2020 draft being shortened to just five rounds, Hauver was one of five Arizona State teammates to hear his name called. Hauver was the third of that group, at No. 99 overall. A high school shortstop, Hauver moved to the outfield thanks to a glut of talented Sun Devils infielders.

SCOUTING REPORT: Before college baseball shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic, Hauver was having an excellent start to the season. He finished with a slash line of .339/.494/.695 with five home runs. He’d showed improved plate discipline and a continued ability to hit for both average and power, though scouts did have some swing-and-miss concerns in the long run. The Yankees drafted him as a second baseman, and if he can stick at the position and continue to produce at the plate, he would be a boon of a pick.

THE FUTURE: The pandemic forced the cancelation of the minor league season and the Yankees did not hold domestic instructional league, which means that Hauver’s official pro debut won’t take place until 2021. His pedigree gives him a chance to start at High-A.

Hauver has lefthanded power, earning him a spot in the Area Code Games home run derby, and as one of Arizona State's top recruits. When he's going well, Hauver hits for average and power with a compact, strong swing. A middle infielder at the high school level, he projects as an offensive second baseman down the line. As a bat-first player, he had a solid but not spectacular senior season offensively, which may contribute to him going to school rather than signing out of the draft.
