In any front-row position, she is an excellent blocker, with a swing tailor-made for catching high hands. Her length defensively along with her beach training and overall athleticism let her run down shots and make plays that might be out of reach for some players.rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://prepdig.com/2022/12/2024-player-rankings-top-outsides/u0022u003ehttps://sportsrecruits.com/athlete/hannah_byers?video=1965518u003c/au003ernrnu0026nbsp;rnrnu0026nbsp;","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["259677"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Hayes is a valuable part of the defensive backline for Dakine.
