12/27/2022 - Baseball Factory Christmas Camp & Tournament at Pirate City - Session 2 Braden is a 2023 C/OF prospect out of Rutland, MA that showed very well at the Pirate City event. Behind the plate he shows a squared setup and tracks the ball well with a soft glove. He utilizes his body well through the blocking process, centering balls out front. Pop times showed in the 2.09 range with accuracy/carry (82 mph velocity) on his throws. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he continues to shine with outstanding power potential through an athletic setup. Hands are quick (91 mph exit velocity) and work through a level swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields and has strength in his swing with gap-to-gap pop. Power will continue to increase as he utilizes his lower half more efficiently. At the event, he was 3 for 6 with a 2B. Mental makeup is a plus as he is very coachable and works hard to be the best player he can be.
