One of the top prospects in Missouri’s 2026 class, INF Brendan Pyle (Fort Zumwalt East; Mizzou commit) continues to look the part of a high-end name each time we see him. Pyle, who slashed .364/.520/.506 as a freshman hitting in the middle of the Lions’ order this spring, peppered line drives to all fields in BP from a rhythmic right-handed swing that he repeated consistently. His hardest ball left his bat at 93.3 mph and he sent his furthest batted ball into the pull-side gap 330 feet, per TrackMan. Pyle’s sure-handed on the infield too, with actions to stick somewhere on the dirt long term. He hopped on the mound later on in this event as well, averaging 18 inches of horizontal movement on his fastball at 83-84 mph. Pyle showed two secondaries; a tight, short wrinkle slider at 72-74 mph and a 75-77 mph changeup that he threw at fastball arm speed and slot, averaging 20+ inches of run.
Arguably the day’s top prospect, INF Brendan Pyle (Fort Zumwalt East, 2026) emerged a high-follow incoming freshman at Wednesday’s event. Pyle showed all sorts of upside at the plate, repeating a clean right-handed stroke in rhythm and maintaining posture throughout. He looked advanced for someone his age offensively, and his ability to stay back up the middle with loose, easy bat-to-ball skills suggest he’ll certainly hit throughout the entirety of his high school career. Pyle could potentially add a boost to a Fort Zumwalt East team that finished this spring in the ‘Final Four’, and he’s absolutely a name-to-know in Missouri’s 2026 group.
