03/13/2016 - College PREP - Indianapolis, IN Braden is a very talented 2-way prospect (OF/LHP) who is fun to watch. In the OF, he covers a ton of ground and makes it look easy (running his 60 in 6.58). He works behind and through the ball, gaining ground and firing strong throws on a line. As a hitter - this lefty shows an athletic/balanced setup with fluid rhythm to load. Hands are quick as he whips the barrel through the zone with speed and connects with pop, driving the gaps. He squares the ball up constantly and gets out of the box and down the line - putting pressure on the defense. He will fit nicely in the leadoff spot. On the mound, Braden has an effective 3-pitch arsenal coming from a high 3/4 arm slot. He maintains fluid tempo, works to a tall balance point and drives downhill in-line toward the plate. FB tops out at 81 mph as he commands it well and can hit his spots. Breaking ball has 1/7 shape with good action. Changeup shows sink and will get GB outs. Braden is a skilled athlete who will play at a high level.
