3/04/25
+ LHP/1B Braedon Hermes (Kimberly, 2027) stuff continues to tick up on the mound. The left-hander was up to 83 mph with the fastball with running action through the zone. He paired that with a horizontal breaking slider and a change up thrown to arm side. He also showcased considerable athleticism by running a sub 7.00 seconds 60 yard dash (6.98 seconds). Our staff will continue to monitor Braedon Hermes performance and development.
