View Draft Report

An Oral Roberts signee, Hyde has an uncomplicated, rock-and-fire delivery with an over-the-top release point. He attacks hitters with a mid-80s above-average slider that has modest movement but plenty of power, an average low-90s fastball that will touch 95 and an average changeup. His 4.68 ERA this season may sound modest, but the offensive environment of Kansas junior college baseball provides some needed context. Butler’s team ERA was 6.14 and opponents posted an 8.04 ERA. The wind blows a lot and the fences down the line are well short of 300 feet. Hyde could decide to prove what he can do in Division I, but teams may have seen enough to try to see if they can get him to head straight to pro ball now.
