11/10/2011 - Pirate City Select Training - 2011 Brandon is a tall, athletic 1st baseman who will graduate in 2012. Defensively, Brandon has athletic actions, and playable hands and feet. He makes plays, keeps the ball in front, and he throws from various arm angles with accuracy to his target. Fielding further out in front of his body, and playing more through the ball can help defensive numbers improve. At the plate, Brandon has a rhythmic swing and a solid load. He makes solid contact, gets good extension through the ball, and he gets his lower 1/2 through the ball. Staying short, and leveling off his swing can help offensive numbers spike.
