Plays through the ball with fluid footwork and clean exchanges.  Tends to work the ball to his right hip on the catch.  Long arm action, has some stiffness, working to a high-3/4 slot with average accuracy.  Throws recorded at 68mph across the infield.  Right handed hitter works with a vertical bat, tall stance, and limited load.  Longer stride worked to a swing that tended to be pull conscious, flashing average barrel awareness.  Listed at 5-foot-6, 140 pounds, Hales ran his sixty in 7.87. On the bump, the right hander works from a high-3/4 slot with a short arm swing.  Some effort in the delivery with a choppy rhythm throughout.  Fastball ranged 70-72.  The curveball sat 61-63 with gradual 11/5 action, when it did not stay up and arm-side.  Slows the arm down on the change-up, with the pitch touching 66.  5-foot-6, 140 pounder has a small, young frame that will continue to mature with time.  Small rocker, leads to a regular leg kick with some coil in the lower half.  Lands on-line and finishes with balance.
