01/15/2016 - Under Armour All-America Pre-Season Tournament This LHH catcher continues to shine. Offensively, he stands in well with athletic actions and a strong base. He has a knack for squaring the ball up as it jumps off of his barrel. He hits the ball where it's pitched with the ability to use the entire field. He gets out of the box and down the 1B line with speed - moving very well for his 6'4"/200lb frame - 60 in 6.83. Behind the plate, Branson sits in low with flexion. He centers pitches in the dirt off of a soft chest and is quick to his feet. Transfer/exchange is quick as he puts strong/accurate throws on the bag - pop times now as low as 1.90. Pure hitting catchers are in high demand - Branson is fun to watch and will play at a very high level.
