Brady
Gagne

Gagne is a 6-foot, 193 pound right-handed hitting corner infield prospect. He hits out of a wide, square stance, with the hands set just off the back shoulder. The swing begins with a big leg kick to stack the weight over the back leg and a pushing back of the hands. The swing plane is direct through contact, yielding an exit velocity of 92 MPH during the batting practice.

Defensively, Gagne was still recovering from a shoulder injury and did not throw at this event. He did participate in fielding ground balls. The feet are light and allow him to get into an athletic fielding position. The hands are soft transitioning through the ground ball into the throwing position.

Gagne has definitely done some work in the weight room this winter and it shows. The bat-speed and pop at the plate are evident. He also continues to develop as an infielder.

Gagne has a strong 6-foot, 190 pound frame.  The right-handed hitting infielder had an exit velocity of 78 mph off the tee.  He hits out of a square base, with relaxed hands and good pre-pitch rhythm. The load is triggered with a leg kick and a pushing back of the hands.  As the swing begins, the bat-head whips through the hitting zone on a flat path. The hand-speed is evident and produced a lot of loud contact. As he makes contact, he does a nice job of staying on plane well through the finish.

Defensively, he was 72 mph across the diamond.  He shows fluid actions and a quick arm. Pre-pitch the feet are active.  Once the ball is hit, he glides to a good position to breakdown behind the ball.  He gets into a balanced fielding position, with the glove in a relaxed position out front.  The hands are soft as he transitions from fielding to the throwing position and he creates a good line with the target.  The feet work through the play, with a quick arm-swing and he finishes through the play.

I like Gagne’s skill-set.  The actions are fluid in the field and the bat has a chance.
