Collett broke his thumb playing football and did not play his sophomore year the best I remember, and your right did split time with Justin Arms behind the plate his junior year. Paintsville had two very good strong armed catchers that year. But I dont mean to correct you but I have seen him pick runners off from his knees both while in high school and while in Cleveland when I went to see him play college summer ball.

Collett broke his thumb playing football his sophomore year, but did get to play in around 12 games before reinjuring it in the JC game and Arms became the full time replacement. They did split time his junior year. Back on topic though, Hayes is a good sized catcher that is very good defensively....I can't remember much about his contributions at the plate though. However, the best arm that has came through the 15th region or the mountains the past 4-5 years has been Adams from Pikeville....he's dominating at the college level here at PC and has for 2yrs now.

Congrats though to Hayes, always great to see a mountain kid get an oppertuinity to play major D-1 athletics.
