A native of Mission Viejo, Calif., Hazelwood stayed in-state to play college ball for Palomar CC (San Marcos). While he got hit fairly hard as a freshman reliever, Hazelwood produced far better results as a sophomore starter, with a 3.38 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 64 innings.

Upon transferring to Kansas University for his junior season, he encountered some difficulties in a four-game stint as a starter, as he posted a 5.23 ERA and 1.69 WHIP prior to the pandemic shutdown.
