12/27/2018 - Under Armour Baseball Factory Recruiting Classic (Ages 14-18) Briar is an athletic and strong 2019 2-way prospect. At 1B, Briar makes strong throws and starts in an athletic position. He needs to continue to present a low/early glove, and be on time with his prep step. At the plate, Briar starts in a squared stance, loads his hands back into the drive position, and has an explosive backside. Continuing to attack the inside part of the ball and keeping his head down at contact will allow him to drive the ball to the middle part of the field more consistently. On the bump, Briar has good mound presence and competes on every pitch. He gathers over the rubber, separates on time, and rides his back leg toward the plate. He needs to continue to work north to south and keep a strong front side in his delivery. He gets run on his fastball, he has a medium break on his curveball, and controls his changeup down in the zone. Briar is a hard worker and we hope to see his progress in the future.
