Haseley made his collegiate debut, for the University of Virginia, on April 1, 2015 in a relief appearance against VMI.[1] Despite only pitching in four games that season, he was called upon to start Game Two of the 2015 College World Series finals against Vanderbilt with Virginia trailing 1–0 in the series. Haseley pitched five shut-out innings and allowed just four hits in an eventual 3–0 win, forcing a third game.[2] The Cavaliers would go on to win the program's first College World Series the following day.[3]

Haseley went 9–3 as a starter his sophomore year with a 1.73 ERA and also hit .304. He was named third-team all-American at utility by Baseball America and the NCBWA after the 2016 season.[1] He was also a finalist for the John Olerud Award which recognizes college baseball's best two-way player.[4]

During his junior season, Haseley hit 14 home runs, drove in 56 runs, and led the ACC with a .390 batting average. Haseley also walked (44) more times than he struck out (21). For his accomplishments, he was named first-team all-American by Baseball America and the ABCA and first-team all-ACC.[5][6][7] He was again a finalist for the John Olerud Award.[8]
