View Draft Report
Part of an interesting staff that pushed Franklin Pierce to the Division II College World Series, Hathaway brings good stuff but big durability questions. He can run his fastball up to 95 mph from the left side and sits 91-93. He also throws a solid-average curveball and changeup. Hathaway has already had two surgeries and is 23 years old, however, and he has a slight frame at 6-foot-1, 185 pounds. He missed several weeks in March and April and made seven appearances this season (five starts), though he struck out 34 in 29 innings while walking just seven.

Hathaway moved steadily through the Diamondbacks system after being drafted out of Franklin Pierce, where he helped the Ravens make it to the Division II College World Series. Hathaway twice had surgery in college and was already 23 when drafted. He made it to the big leagues during his fourth pro season in 2016 after pitching effectively at both Double-A Mobile and Triple-A Reno. While slight of build, Hathaway has a loose, whippy arm and the ball jumps out of his hand from a high three-quarters arm slot. The key to his effectiveness in 2016 was an increase in fastball velocity, and he now sits 92-95 mph with a four-seamer that has natural sinking action with armside run. His high-70s curveball is an above-average pitch, and he also throws a firm mid-80s changeup. With a ceiling of a middle reliever, Hathaway is a strong candidate for a big league bullpen job in 2017.
