The Ball State recruit owns significant arm talent that is his carrying tool. There is still room for growth within a high-waisted, 6-foot-2, 195 pound frame. Stevenson posted the top catch & throw metrics of the event, turning in a pop times from 1.86 - 1.94, with an 84 mph arm from the crouch. Stevenson showed more impact with the bat, reaching a peak exit velocity of 101 mph with a loose, level swing. Also up to 89 mph on the mound - his future could be on the mound, but Stevenson showed positive growth as a position player this weekend.
'25 RHP/C Brayden Stevenson (Pendleton Heights) turned in another strong showcase performance, a top 45 player in our 2025 class. Arm talent is the calling card for the Ball State recruit as he posted an 80 mph arm from the crouch, translating to pops ranging from 1.84 - 1.94. Stevenson then toed the rubber to produce the most electric 'pen of the day, sitting 86-88 mph on his carry fastball (up to 20" of IVB). The fastball command has come along since our last look at Stevenson, and he paired it with a tight, low-70s breaking ball that has also taken a step up. Aside from showing premier arm talent, Stevenson showed some pull-side strength during batting practice, using a loose, level swing plane to produce a peak exit velocity of 95 mph. Holding a projectable, 6-foot-2, 195 pound frame - expect Stevenson to continue to make vast improvements on the mound as he has only been focusing on this part of his game for a short time period.
