    Scouting Report

    From FSS: 
    A first-year Tar Heel, Haugh spent two seasons at Fayetteville Tech before transferring to Chapel Hill. Haugh worked a multitude of roles this spring before eventually working his way into the rotation in April. He's shown average control of the baseball over multi-inning showings with a fastball that'll creep up to 96 featuring carry through the zone. Haugh will rest 91-94 as he lathers into his fourth and fifth innings of work. It hasn't been a particularly effective fastball at the college level as he struggles to produce whiffs with the pitch, though hitters will expand the zone on the pitch. It should be performing at a higher clip given the metrics, though it's possible Haugh lacks the inherent deception necessary to blow it by hitters. Haugh throws a low-80s curveball with sharp break and impressive tunneling attributes off his fastball. He's confident with the pitch and will throw it to lefties and righties alike. He can gets whiffs on pitches in the dirt with its shape and conviction. Right now it's an above average pitch and could eventually creep into 'plus' territory if he can get it a little more firm in the coming years. A low-80s gyroscopic slider has been especially effective this season, up to 85 and resting 81-83. He needs to throw that pitch more going forward to transform himself into the strikeout artist some believe he's capable of becoming. There's also a firm, upper-80s changeup that lacks distinct shape but does have some depth. It hasn't been a terribly effective pitch at generating swing-and-miss from left-handed hitters, but does possess arm speed and solid average command. At 6-foot-6, 210 pounds, Haugh is especially lean and projectable with a loose, athletic delivery. He's got a quick arm for his size and could eventually flirt with triple-digit velocity in a bullpen role. Because of his strike-throwing ability and four-pitch mix, Haugh will likely go out as a starter early in his professional career. He's a diamond in the rough in this class who could get paid on day two.
