01/18/2019 - Baseball Factory Spring Training in Arizona (Ages 12-14)
Brady is a coachable 3B/RHP prospect who worked hard on his skills during his time at the Spring Training in Arizona. In the field, Brady takes a good first step and displays active footwork. He gets into an athletic position and fields the ball out in front of his body. He makes a clean exchange and gains momentum well on his throws, keeping them accurate and strong across the diamond. Increasing his lateral range can help Brady improve defensively. At the plate, this RHH sets up in a square stance and gets into a smooth load. He makes consistent contact and drives the ball to his pull side. Brady can improve as a hitter by driving his lower half more. On the mound, Brady gathers over the rubber and works with a loose arm. He stays inline towards the plate and finishes with a controlled landing. His fastball tops out at 62mph. Extending through his release more can help Brady improve as a pitcher. With four more years to develop, Brady has the time and potential to further progress his skills on the field.

At 3B, defensive abilities have improved as he displays smooth / clean actions. Hands are clean and present well out front. Feet are aggressive as he attacks balls but will benefit by playing through with his body. He moves well laterally with range improving as he improves quickness. At the plate, he shows an open setup. Hands are quick and work through a level swing path. He stays on plane and makes consistent contact through a line drive approach. On the mound, fastball shows a range of 55-56 mph.
