Career Transactions
Selected by Orioles in 19th round of 2012 draft; signed June 21, 2012; Traded by Orioles with OF L.J. Hoes and 2014 supplemental first-round pick to Astros for RHP Bud Norris and 2013-14 international bonus slot four, July 31, 2013; Traded by Astros with OFs Brett Phillips and Domingo Santana and RHP Adrian Houser to Brewers for OF Carlos Gomez, RHP Mike Fiers and 2015-16 international bonus slot three, July 30, 2015.
Background
Hader’s slight build and funky delivery have led to debates about whether he’ll end up as a power reliever or a starter. He’s been traded twice, but has had success everywhere he pitches.
What to Watch For
Hader’s delivery hides the ball well and his low arm slot makes it hard for hitters to pick up the ball. When a pitcher does that and touches 97 mph, he’s never a fun at-bat for a hitter
