The one thing that the young Baltimore Orioles outfielder has always been able to do is hit.
From his days in community college at Seminole State, the young outfielder was a thrasher of baseballs, slashing .382/.425/.576, hitting six home runs and driving in 38 runs in 165 at-bats.
He ran into his first struggle when he transferred to Jacksonville University. Batting .271/.351/.385, hitting just three home runs and driving in 36 runs, Hays looked human. One thing to keep in mind was his youth. At the time, he was just 19 years old.
His cup of coffee
Drafted in the third round of the 2016 MLB Draft, Hays began his professional baseball career in the rookie New York-Penn League with the Aberdeen IronBirds.
