06/22/2012 - California Select Training & Competition (Ages 12-14) Brendan is an athletic 2016 graduate who is a C/SS. He has very good arm strength, short arm action, quick release and he is accurate to his target. Behind the plate, Brendan is a natural leader, an athletic/flexible/low/wide set-up, he has sure/firm hands and quick feet. Blocking, Brendan centers the ball, deadens it and keeps his head down. His set-up needs to be more square but he is an agile/polished prospect behind the plate. At the plate, Brendan has an athletic set-up, he consistently squares the ball up and he uses the whole field. He needs to gain some ground with his stride foot, get it down sooner and use his lower half more. Brendan is a great kid with a lot of talent, especially behind the plate. If he makes some adjustments as a hitter and continues to progress defensively Brendan should be a standout player in the future.
