Player Adam Haseley (R) of the Virginia Cavaliers celebrates after scoring with teammate Pavin Smith #10 against the Vanderbilt Commodores in the seventh inning during game three of the College World Series Championship Series on June 24, 2015 at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Nebraska. UVA is one of just two college programs to boast a first-round draft pick in each of the last four seasons. "It was something that I knew I wanted to work on in the fall, it helps you in more ways than you think, being able to get on base when you're struggling". I've scouted him extensively. I feel like he'll get more fluidity as it goes. He struck out 12 times in 228 at-bats, walking 38 times.
Haseley, who O'Dowd compared to former major league center fielders Steve Finley and Jim Edmonds, was a two-way player at U.Va., but a bone bruise in his left arm kept him from pitching the final two months of this season.
"It doesn't feel real at all", Haseley said from his Orlando-area home on Monday night.
"(Power potential) is determined by how much I continue to work on my strengths and continue to keep it where it is", Haseley said. "Talking to people that either had to pitch to him or coach against him, they say his ability to recognize pitches and use his quick hands - he has great confidence in his ability to wait, wait, wait on pitches". Haseley was one of the highest risers this spring heading into the draft, and his strong showing in his junior season has rewarded him being picked in the first round of this year's draft. "I think I put my head down".
