Morning Report: Ke’Bryan Hayes is Having a Strong First Season

Ke'Bryan Hayes went 1-for-3 during Friday's doubleheader in the Gulf Coast League, reaching base four times in six plate appearances. He drew two walks and was hit by a pitch. The Pittsburgh Pirates 32nd overall pick in this year's draft is putting up some impressive numbers so far, with eight games left on the schedule. With that in mind, I wanted to compare the young third baseman's performance to three other high profile draft picks from the last two years.

Hayes has a narrow one point lead in the GCL batting race, hitting .343 going into Saturday's action.
