The last time I saw Braden was in the fall at the NorCal Uncommitted games at Cosumnes River College in October. Braden has a very good lower half which helps him on the mound. His FB Max on the day was 86.8 MPH and was sitting between 85.1-86.4 MPH. The CB is sharp and has some bite to it, 70.5-71.6 MPH with a spin rate of 2191 RPM. This is Braden's best off speed pitch, along with a 80% spin efficiency with the CH. (IVB avg 12.3, HM Max 12.9). Ford is set out to be the ace of Livermore HS, with a little more polish before the season starts, Braden is going to have a great year on the mound, especially with more innings under his belt.
