11/10/2011 - Pirate City Select Training - 2011 (Pre HS) Brendan is a 2016 graduate with a tall/solid/athletic body structure who plays RHP and Catcher. From the outfield he throws from an over the top arm slot with short action and carry. On the mound Brendan throws from a low 3/4 arm slot with free/loose action, he showed a controlled balance point, his separation is on time, and he has good rhythm/timing. His fastball has run/sink and his slider has 10/4 shape and he throws them both for strikes. Brendan needs to avoid slowing his arm speed on his slider and finish in a more athletic position. Behind the plate he has an athletic set-up (a bit high), good hands and a clean/efficient release. Primarily he needs to work on blocking and his footwork. At the plate Brendan has a tall/athletic stance, hands back load, short stride, stable/centered balance and a firm front side. His bat has a tendency to drag and his contact is inconsistent but he seems to have an idea in the box. If Brendan puts the work in there is no reason he will not find success in the future.
