No. 10: Austin Hays, OF, Frederick
2016 statistics: .336, 4 HRs, 21 RBIs, 9 2Bs in 38 games (Aberdeen)
A wrist injury kept the 2016 third-round selection out of roughly half of the IronBirds’ 75 games last year. But when Hays – who will turn 22 in July – was in the lineup, he showed his potential. Hays tied outfielder Cole Billingsley for the most total bases on the team (72) and would have led the New York-Penn League in hitting (.336) if he had enough at-bats to qualify. With a move to Frederick to start 2017, Hays likely will play a lot in center field.
