We now have a reasonably-sized big league sample with which to help us answer the question of whether Hayes will be merely very good, or will hit for enough in-game power to have a Scott Rolen-ish career. The data does some pushing and pulling. In about a month, Hayes hit a whopping .376/.442/.682, ranked fourth among all hitters with a 195 wRC+, and led all NL rookies with 1.7 WAR even though he only played in 24 games. And Hayes was hitting the ball hard.

But his .450 BABIP is unsustainable and, per Statcast, his xwOBA (.356) came in well below his actual wOBA (.464), indicating that he was also the beneficiary of some luck.

Bud Black. Green received a $725,000 signing bonus.
Shawn quickly rose thru the Jays’ system, becoming the Jays’ top prospect (well, it was a tossup between him and
Carlos Delgado) from the moment he signed. In 1992 he made the Florida State league’s All-Star team, his first full season in the minors playing A-ball. The next season, playing in Double-A, he broke his right thumb in June. Recovering from the injury, he was called up to Toronto near the end of September and was hitless in 6 at-bats. He sat on the bench during our World Series win, getting himself a
