12/27/2008 - Christmas Camp and Tournament - 2008 Hawkins showed a gritty, hard-nosed player. At the plate, he showed a simple swing with quick hands and good bat speed. He hit from an athletic base, and showed good barrel accuracy. Defensively, he moved his feet well and showed solid arm strength. Body control and ability to throw on the run showed on slow roller plays. His double play work was solid, but needs to work to keep his hands and glove more out in front of him on routine plays. Ran 7.58 in the 60-yard dash. Overall, "baseball player" type with solid tools.
