Brooks has a super quick arm in the field and on the mound. He made a definite impression with good foot speed, very good hands and a quick arm both in the field and on the mound at the Elite Prospect Showcase in November. The lanky 6-foot-1, 160-pounder also shined in his bullpen session pumpiing fastballs at 83-84, touching 85-mph, and got downhill well with minimal effort. He kicks his front leg at the hitter, but stays on-line well and has more in the tank with better extension toward home plate. He flashed a solid straight change-up at 74-75 and a feel for spinning his curveball at 70-71.
