Thats probably a mid-case scenario for him.  I'd like to think he has a higher ceiling than that.  

I mean an actual good 4th OF.  Like, on an actual good team.   Not what we've seen from the Orioles lately.  I don't know that the bat will be good enough to play every day, but a guy that can play all 3 OF positions, pinch run, play well defensively.  Like Ryan McKenna but not a zero with the bat.

But, hey.  Maybe he can be more than that.

The reports I have seen say he has a below average arm.  So he is kind of like Cedric.

Ciolek calls him a double plus runner.  2020 2nd round draft choice signed for 1.9M.   MLB Pipeline O's #16 prospect.  Tony has him a #29.

I didn’t pick up that he has that much speed. Having a tool like that is really valuable.

MLBpipeline.com has him as a 45 arm in its latest preseason Top 30, but calls it an average arm in the write-up. 

BA has him with an above average arm in its preseason top 30.

I have not heard the arm was short to this point, so to say it’s the same as Cedric might be underestimating Hudson a bit.

Well, Fangraphs doesn’t know what to think.   First they grade his arm a 60, then they say this: “He covers tremendous ground in center field, but his arm, while not a liability, is a bit on the fringy side.”

I have not seen enough to have an opinion, but I have seen him above average on some and fringy on others. I thought he may have had a sore arm last year at times. That’s common for first year pros.

Trezza with lots of quotes and details in his write-up of Haskin's big day.    Two were oppo tacos.

I'll only start paying attention to him if he gets 3 triples in a game this week.

I was going by the 45 rating by Pipeline.  So with the new information I am solidly in the "I don't know" category.

Yeah, he got hit an absurd 20 times in 83 games last year.

Hit again tonight. I think it got him on the hands. Stayed in the game, got thrown out stealing, and then was removed. Hopefully just precautionary. He  was almost hit on the first pitch of the at bat too.

Diving head first on a SB attempt isn't probably what you want to do right after taking a HBP on the hand. 

I was looking at the box score and assumed he hurt himself on the slide into second.  Guess he'll get the Stowers treatment.  See ya in a week.

As Weams would say, they all break.

The ones that dive headfirst into bases break more frequently.

2 for 2 tonight. Batting a smooth .614. I think I like this prospect. Really like that he plays CF.

Just hit a grand slam.  Looks like we have another solid OF prospect.  Bye by DJ Stewart.
