2025 RHP Sawyer Brandino has been one of the main attractions on ONC’s roster over the past year and continues to live up to that hype when we see him. The 5-foot-11, 180-pound right-hander attacked hitters with the fastball, sitting 84-85mph, and it may have been the best we’ve seen his breaking ball despite not needing it much during his appearance out of the bullpen. Curveball sat 68-69mph with heavy downward action and was tough on hitters with similar arm-slot/arm speed as fastball. An intriguing arm out of Ottawa who really seems to be putting thing together on the mound as we close out the year.
