Ke’Bryan Hayes Is Still Underrated

PITTSBURGH — It’s the bottom of the seventh inning. The score is Cardinals 5, Pirates 3. Giovanny Gallegos is staring down Ke’Bryan Hayes with 2 outs as he tries to prevent Hayes from scoring the two runners on second and third. He winds and fires an 87 MPH changeup outside the top corner of the zone and less than 5 seconds later, the ball is in the seats and PNC Park is shaking. When the Pirates selected him 32nd overall out of Concordia Lutheran High School in 2015. He had already committed to play baseball at the University of Tennessee, but chose to sign with the Pirates. His father Charlie was a major leaguer as well. He played 14 seasons in the major leagues, for 8 different teams and won one World Series ring with the Yankees. He spent one season in 1996 with the Pirates where he was their 3rd baseman for 124 games, and 24 years later his son made his major league debut with the expectations of being the franchise’s next great 3rd baseman. <a href="https://medium.com/@carsontg/kebryan-hayes-is-still-underrated-24a550f5715a">Read More</a>
