Ke'Bryan Hayes News
Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes went 3-for-3 with a double, a run, an RBI, a walk, and a steal in a 2-1 win over the Colorado Rockies on Monday. Hayes provided almost all of the Pittsburgh offense in the low-scoring contest, ripping an RBI double in the first inning. He then singled, stole second, and came around to score on Yoshi Tsutsugo single in the eighth inning. Hayes is hitting .290 with 11 doubles, 17 runs, 11 RBI, and five steals over 138 at-bats. He doesn't have any homers yet, but some of those doubles should start finding their way over the fence for Hayes as the season goes on.
Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes is getting the day off on Tuesday as the team takes on right-hander Keegan Thompson and the Chicago Cubs. Michael Chavis will be covering the hot corner and batting sixth in the game. Hayes went 0-for-11 at the plate over his last three games. He has a solid .293 batting average on the year, but he's slugging just .371 and he has yet to hit his first home run of the year.
Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes continued his strong start to the 2022 season on Saturday, going 2-for-4 with two runs, an RBI, and a walk. Although he has no home runs, he's made up for it with a .333 batting average and has shown good plate discipline with an 18.5 strikeout and 13.6 walk rate. Also, Hayes has stolen two bases with six RBI and 11 runs. It's a good sign for fantasy managers after a rough season a year ago. Across 96 games, Hayes slashed .257/.316/.373 with six home runs and nine stolen bases. The 25-year-old will likely never factor much into the power department, but can keep providing value in batting average and stolen bases.

In 24 games with the Pirates in 2020, Ke'Bryan Hayes was other-worldly with a slash line of .376/.442/.682 and a .464 wOBA over 95 plate appearances. It is an extremely small sample size and clearly unsustainable, but he does have a minor-league track record of being able to post pretty solid batting average and on-base numbers. The key with him heading into 2021 will be to have realistic expectations and the underlying stats can give us some insight there. He hit the ball hard, garnering a 110.3 mph maxEV and 55.4% HardHit% which, combined with his 93.5% contact rate, means that a majority of his BBE were struck with authority. Additionally, his 9.2% barrel rate would have put him in the company of Cody Bellinger and Kyle Tucker. He was selective with just a 44.1% swing rate but did have a Meatball Swing% of 82.6 allowing him to do damage when pitchers made mistakes. He smacked five home runs over his 95 plate appearances in 2020 but don't expect that type of power output over a full season. He lacks the home run track record as he hit just 25 bombs in 461 games in the minors. He does have the chance to give you low double-digit steals, capitalizing on a 79th percentile sprint speed. Hayes has been locked in this spring as well as he's slashing .441/.486/.824 with a home run, eight RBI, and two stolen bases over 34 at-bats. We shouldn't read too much into those stats but it gives us a snapshot of the potential that he possesses. Hayes has a fairly high floor for such a young player and plenty of ceiling, but there is some risk with his NFBC ADP of 139. He will take some lumps this season so if you aren't prepared to ride with him during the ups and down then you may be better off taking Gio Urshela at 162 for more certainty or Austin Riley around 212 for power upside with a much lower price tag.
