Brennan Waldrop, Mission Vista (CA), 2022
Positional Profile: LHP/OF
Body: 6-0, 195-pounds. Strong build.
Hit: LHH. Low starting point with hands, closed stance, strides closed, loads hands upward to about ear height. Hits off his back side, creates a path that cuts across. Has to be on time for solid contact. Releasing towards the front side will benefit bat path/contact.
Power: 88.2 max exit velocity, averaged 80.4 mph. 258’ max distance.
Arm: OF - 79 mph. Long arm action with high front side. Throws from a high 3/4 slot. Throws were low and through the cut, good long hops.
Defense: Attacks the ball well, slower timing to release. Fields the ball one handed outside the body, transfer in consistent, happens at center of the body.
Run: 7.62 runner in the 60.
Body: 6-0, 185-pounds. Big frame, starting pitchers build, strong lower half, long limbs show room for more.
Delivery: Funky left-handed delivery, drop and drive down the mound, high front side keeps his front side closed and helps hide the ball. Back side follows through well. Head stays inline and relatively balanced throughout.
Arm Action: LH. Longer arm swing, high front side helps hide the ball in the back, funky release and action overall. Deceptive overall. Retired 7 of 8 batters faced and struck out 3.
FB: T82, 79-82 mph. Located the fastball throughout the zone, extreme ride on the pitch with induced vertical break of 19.6, low velocity and average spin limit this pitch. The carry of the fastball and deceptive delivery certainly play up the fastball velocity and makes one wonder just how effective the fastball could be with a velocity jump.
CB: 66-68 mph. High spin (2390) and extreme horizontal movement show why this sweeping breaking ball garnered so many swings and misses. Effective pitch that he commanded well. Threw for a strike and then went back foot on RHH and away on LHH for the swing and the miss.
