Sunday provided our staff with another look at a top two-way talent in the 2027 class in RHP/1B Brandon Ott (De Smet Jesuit, 2027). Possessing some of the most upside in the class, Ott uses a 6-foot-4, 188-pound frame and a loose, whippy arm action to run his fastball up to 87 mph on the mound, pounding the zone consistently at 85-86 mph. Off of that he spun a sweeping slider at 72-74 mph with an average of -10” of horizontal movement and turned over a low-spin changeup to pair. At the plate, Ott swung a physical left-handed barrel that drove balls from gap-to-gap, reaching a 97.5 mph exit velocity on his best barrel - good for the second best mark on the day. He also showed off his arm strength in the field, posting a 86 mph mark from first base.

RHP/1B Brandon Ott (De Smet Jesuit, 2027) continues to show why he is a top five player in the Missouri 2027 class. Packed with projectability in a 6-foot-4, 188-pound frame, Ott was consistently on the barrel back through the middle of the field throughout BP using his advanced bat speed to reach exit velocities upwards of 97 mph. His arm strength and athleticism were on full display at first base where he reached 80 mph on his firmest bullet across the diamond and showed feel for footwork around the bag. To wrap up the day, Ott hopped on the mound, and although he didn’t have his best stuff, pitched in the mid-80s with his fastball, generating swings and misses with a slider/changeup mix.
