Brady
Helms

Penn State commit, currently ranked No. 17 in the state’s junior class. Standing at a physical 6-foot-1, 190-pounds with broad and sloped shoulders and debatably more room for additional fill to the frame. Got the start at third, going 3-3 on the day with three singles and a run and a stolen base. Sound approach with advanced swing decisions and bat-to-ball traits, 0 whiffs on the day and didn’t expand/chase out of the zone. Already has a history of performing against high-end velo, shapes and spin with the same approach and bat-to-ball ability shining through. Defensively at third the actions look ticked-up with a similarly stronger looking arm across the diamond. High-follow infielder that could see himself jump into the upper-tier of prospects in the class with more impact/extra-base hit production.
