Prep Baseball All-American Game: Armed with a durable 6-foot-3, 215-pound frame with physical lower half, Brissey shows big arm speed out of a high three-quarters arm slot. Fastball lives 88-90 with sharp, two-seam action that makes a habit of soft contact and shattering bats. Shows excellent command of the pitch to fill every quadrant of the zone. Mid-70s curveball creates depth well and can show some slurvy movement at times. Changeup feel really strengthens the profile for the Arkansas commit in the low-80s getting hard arm-side tumble. Oozes confidence, clear plan with every pitch.
