Brandon
Orr

Orr stands in at 5-foot-8, 150-pounds with a lean athletic frame. Ran a 4.75 home to first, just shy of his best recorded time of 4.42 set in January 2017. Offensively- Sets up square to the pitcher with his feet outside his shoulders. Shows a vertical body holding the bat just above the back shoulder using little pre-pitch bat movement. On pitch, his trigger is a quick stride forward while his hands move back into a good hitting position. Utilizes good lower body rotation clearing his hips using his whole body in the process of the swing. Shows quick hands into the hitting zone with an upward lift barrel action throughout into a high one-handed swing. Demonstrated good plate coverage hitting line drives up the middle and to the pull side. Recorded an exit velocity of 78 MPH, up 3 MPH from January 2017. Defensively- Good approach and footwork to the baseball. Smooth fielding mechanics with a quick funnel and transition into the throwing position. Has aggressive footwork towards target and moves well left/right and in on the run. Recorded a positional arm velocity of 73 MPH. Pitching- Sets up in the middle of the rubber with a simple side step and leg raise above the hip crease. Breaks down well with good separation and loose arm action into a high ¾ release. Repeats delivery consistently and utilizes whole body throughout the pitching process. Fastball range was 81-82 MPH and peaked at 82 MPH showing good arm side run. Change-up was 67-69 MPH with strong arm side sink and could spot for a strike. Curveball range was 69-70 MPH with good 12/6 action. Overall a strong collegiate prospect in the 2019 grad class.
