When Chris Archer made his MLB debut on June 20, 2012, his hair was closely shaved to his head:

And it's only grown longer in the offseason. On Monday, Archer went on Hot Stove to discuss, among other things, the headwear changes a 'do such as his requires:
"I've had to elevate my hat size a few sizes. Last year, I was stubborn -- I was having a good season, so I didn't want to change my hat size.
This year, it's gonna be a 7 and 5/8. I'm usually 7 and 1/4, so that's two hat sizes up. By the end of the season, I might be even pushing a size 8."
