School: Texas A&M Source: 4YR

Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 21.3
Haas was one of the notable players in Texas A&M’s 13th-ranked transfer class entering the 2023 season. A high-profile high school prospect who ranked as the No. 247 player in the 2020 class, Haas made it to campus at Arizona State, where he hit well as a freshman in 2021 and struggled in an injury-plagued 2022 season before moving from the Pac-12 to the SEC. The 6-foot, 180-pound shortstop has a solid approach at the plate with impressive pure bat-to-ball skills, and hit .323/.447/.506 with 10 home runs, 14 doubles, a 12.5% strikeout rate and 15.8% walk rate this spring. He’s a below-average power hitter whose home runs went almost exclusively to the pull side. After playing third base with Arizona State, Haas has been the everyday shortstop for Texas A&M in 2023. He’s a reliable defender at the position with good instincts, actions and footwork. His arm might be a tick light for difficult plays in the hole or deep and up the middle, which could make him more of a second base profile in pro ball.

Haas had a busy summer between his junior and senior high school seasons, participating in USA Baseball’s PDP League as well as playing for USA Baseball’s 18U National Team. The Arizona State commit stands out more for his outstanding attitude, gamer mentality and feel for the game than he does for his tools. He has good hand-eye coordination and bat-to-ball skills and consistently puts balls in play, but with not enough strength and lower half explosiveness to impact the baseball. He slowed down this year and now grades as a below-average runner. Lacking the range or arm to handle shortstop at the next level, second base is Haas’ likely position. He could be a tough sign if he’s drafted, with many scouts believing that he’ll be better off going to college and hitting for three seasons with the Sun Devils.
