07/25/2024 - All-Ripken Games - Elizabethtown, KY Brayden is a middle infielder who reached base in 7 of his 12 plate appearances at the All-Ripken Games. He has some rhythm to his approach in the batter's box and stays inside the ball well with a short stroke. He has a solid hitting foundation and his natural maturity will help the bat speed and consistency. Defensively he flashed good hands, but we would like to see him be more aggressive to the ball to get in position to field instead of sitting back. He showed poise on the diamond in the infield and on the mound where he dropped in a curveball with confidence to complement his fastball. We look forward to seeing Brayden again soon.
