12/27/2024 - Baseball Factory Holiday Classic at Pirate City Brooks is a dedicated 2027 catcher from Texarkana, TX, who has worked diligently to improve his skills at the Baseball Factory Pirate City camp. Behind the plate, he presents a strong target and tracks pitches well, making precise throws to second base with an arm velocity up to 80 mph and a best pop time of 2.35 seconds. His efficient footwork allows him to replace his feet quickly on throws, and he creates strong angles on his blocks while tucking his chin for proper technique. At the plate, Brooks starts with an even stance and showed his ability to make consistent contact, recording two singles and reaching base on a walk in live game action. While his receiving skills could use some improvement, Brooks’ solid foundation and work ethic will only enhance his abilities. With two more years of growth and development, Brooks has the potential to continue making strides and become an even more impactful player.
