'25 RHP Braden Perry (Evansville North) was a solid uncommitted junior from the Evansville ID. An athletic, 6-foot-3, 185 pounder - Perry showed an innate ability to spin the ball, showing two swing-and-miss breaking balls in his bullpen session. Perry spun a tight (2865), 74-76 mph slider that generated 20" of horizontal break, and also a wipeout, two-plane, 73-75 mph curveball that spun at 2965, on average, with -20" of IVB and -17.7" of horizontal break. His ability to spin is a real weapon, and he compliments it with a fastball that worked at 84-86, touching 86.5 mph. Perry showed a fast right arm that speeds up to an over-the-top release point.
