Bruns showed well on both sides of the ball this weekend on a BennieBoys’ roster that made a deep run. On the mound, Bruns pitched well in an elimination game but flashed more than just a stat line. Listed at 5-foot-10, 130 pounds, the two-way athlete stands in a long-levered frame that displays fluid movement patterns across the diamond. Bruns showed off a relatively effortless delivery that was coupled with a whippy, quick arm action. At the plate, the 2029 graduate was all over the barrel with numerous extra-base hits and a smooth swing that adjusted well to offspeed. Bruns’ athleticism showed in the field as well where he flashed a composed glove that made no error in adjusting angles. With a multitude of time left before Bruns reaches the critical years of his prep career, the athletic Rochelle attendee looks to be a name-to-follow in Illinois’ 2029 class.
