Mount Mercy pitcher Alex Hayden has been diagnosed with a torn UCL in his right arm and is scheduled for Tommy John Surgery April 10.

Hayden was injured during a routine bullpen session in late February. An MRI revealed the torn UCL. The doctor who works with the Minnesota Twins and University of Minnesota will perform the operation in Minneapolis.

Hayden compiled a 1-0 record and 2.45 ERA in two starts for the Mustangs this season. He also hit .250 as a second baseman.

Hayden starred at Cedar Rapids Kennedy and Iowa Central Community College before enrolling at Mount Mercy last summer as a junior.
