Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • SS/RHPPosition Projection

03/01/2020 - Interactive Video Program - Indianapolis, IN Brayden is a SS/RHP prospect who will graduate in 2026. In the field, Brayden shows efficient footwork and centers the ball in the middle of his body. He sits in a low position and makes a clean exchange. He gains ground well on his throws, keeping them accurate to his target. At the plate, this RHH sets up in an athletic stance and shows smooth rhythm. He leads well with his lower half and takes a direct swing, producing solid line drives. On the mound, Brayden gathers over the rubber and separates his hands on time. He works inline towards the plate and keeps his pitches around the zone. Brayden shows a three pitch mix with his fastball topping out at 59mph. Breaking ball sits from 52-54mph with 12-6 break. Changeup sits from 55-57mph with sinking action as he throws with deceptive arm speed. Overall abilities can improve with work on the following.

Tool Grade Scale

Our main goals with the BF "10-70" Scouting Scale are to provide the player with a realistic evaluation of his "PRESENT" abilities (what he can do today), and to provide college coaches with information they can use to identify and/or compare potential recruits.

Tools are graded for all players and pitchers, regardless of age or graduation year. However, for High School players we use only grades 20-70 (grades 10-18 do not apply), while for Middle School players we use only grades 10-52 (grades 55-70 do not apply).
