New Episode LIVE now! - At The Yard Podcast

The Uncommitted Spotlight Series continues as we have started the '24 CIF High School baseball season Prep Baseball California is now highlighting some of the top uncommitted class of '25 athletes. The players featured are pulled directly from our '25 Class Rankings. These JR year players are ones that college coaches and fans should be keeping their eyes on over the coming months.

We invite you to get to know them through the eyes of our Prep Baseball California staff of scouts and the data-backed numbers collected at our events with our partnered companies. TrackMan, Blast Motion, Swift Performance, and Visual Edge provide comparable data to project and evaluate players. All of these systems come together to give a clear picture at what colleges will get when a players steps onto their campus.

Today, we put the spotlight on a NorCal '25 RHP Brayden Gijbels from California High School. With an impressive 6'4 frame and showing present strength at 205 lbs., but still presenting room to continue to add strength/develop his body Gijbels is an interesting RHP in the '25 class. Works off a FB  that in Prep Baseball California events has sat at 82-84 MPH while bumping 85 MPH and showing ride at times with up to 19" of IVB in bullpen sessions. Then adds in an interesting CHG which works in the 74-75 MPH range while showing the ability to kill spin on the with it averaging 1487 RPMs and tunneling well of his FB. Gijbels has a CB as his third pitch which presently is more on the loopier side with velocity in the low 60's that he will need to add velocity/life to going forward. His FB/CHG combo give him an interesting two pitch mix to get hitters out in a relief role especially with the quality of his CHG giving it swing/miss potential and if he can polish the CB Gijbels has a starters potential with his frame, clean easy arm action with room to add arm speed and a relatively low effort delivery which he repeats well. For college programs looking for pitching in the '25 class Gijbels is an interesting name to keep track of going forward.
