08/11/2024 - National Showcase - Honolulu, HI Braden is a lean LHP who will graduate in 2028. On the mound, delivery is sound and repeatable allowing his arm to work clean/quick to the plate. Fastball showed a range of 69-71 mph. Breaking ball displays 1/7 shape with sharp break. He maintains arm speed on his changeup with sinking action. Control is solid as he throws strikes with all his pitches. Stock on the mound will continue to rise as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he shows a crouched setup. Hands are loose and work through a level swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. Lower half works well through the swing as he transfers weight into a firm front side. With 4 years to further develop, Braden has potential with time and room to progress his game.
