Austin Hays

Hays began his college career at Seminole State JC (Fla.) before transferring to Jacksonville for his sophomore year. He had a solid first season with the Dolphins, but has taken a significant step forward this spring. He has become the focal point of Jacksonville's lineup, and leads the team in most offensive categories. Hays has above-average power, and the righthanded hitter has shown good contact skills. His above-average arm strength fits well in right field, where he is a solid defender. Hays' overall package gives him a chance to become a prototypical right fielder.
