Braswell

South Carolina commit. The No. 55 ranked prospect in the country, Braswell stands 6-foot, 165-pound with a live body and athletic frame. Arm works long and loose to a high slot, quickly accelerates out front. Changes tempo up, adding a number of stutter steps to his delivery, pitches aggressively. Fastball ranged 84-89, had run and sink on this day. Slider, 71-73, when on is one of the top breaking balls in Georgia, throws aggressively, depth, downer action with late bite, consistently got swing and misses with. Changeup, 78, heavy fade action, can be just as effective as slider when it's working.

South Carolina commit. 6-foot, 165-pound two-way prospect, lanky, athletic build, much more to come as he continues to fill out. Arm action is long and clean on the back-side to a slot, quick arm speed, some effort in delivery. Really rears back in his delivery, gets his shoulders uphill and then drives front-side down through release, falling off towards first base. aggressive intent with three pitch arsenal. Fastball sat 85-87, touched 88 and 89, late armside life, ran the ball under right-handed hitters regularly. Changeup, maintains arm speed and creates deception off his fastball, has heavy fade and sink to it, swing and miss type pitch, may be one of the best in his class. Curveball, 11/5 shape, 72-74 depth, sharp action as it drops. Really good feel for offspeed, is able to maintain arm speed and slot which disrupts the batter and allows for little time to pick up the pitch. Went 3.0 IP, allowed 2H, 1BB, and struck out 7, struck out the first five batters of the game and six of the first seven. At the plate, he sets up in a crouching stance, loads all of his weight onto his back-side, transfers weight well and is in-sync by the time his stride foot lands. Very quick hands have strength and allow for him to whip the barrel through and gain extension. Collected two hits in the game.

The 6-footer has a lean, athletic build with plenty of room to add strength. The projectable youngster has a fast arm and pitches from a high-3/4 arm slot with his fastball (84-86). His breaking ball (68-72) offers shape and spin, and will occ show late snap. His deep takeaway gives a small window early in his delivery, but a good front side and shoulder tilt makes him deceptive up top. He works at fast pace and is aggressive to the zone, coming down the mound in a hurry and leaving his arm behind at times. Might be talented enough to go both ways at the next level. Will be a fun one to watch over the coming years.
