Nov 2020 Report
Evaluator: Joe Doyle
Age: 23 yr
Height: 6-1
Weight: 180 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2019 Draft - Round 5, SD
RuleV: 2023
Physical Description: Small and wiry frame, more room for growth and added muscle. Slender build with lanky arms. Lower half looks a bit more filled out than his upper body at the moment.
Delivery & Mechanics: Violent, whippy arm action. Good extension and follow through on each pitch. Comes to the plate from a low release point and gets the ball out in front. 3/4 arm action. Violence could be a deterrent for future starter capabilities. Three-quarter arm slot that includes some deception. Consistent and repeated mechanics majority of the time, though aforementioned violence is a concern.
Fastball: Consistent mid-90s offering with late ride towards the top of the zone. Ball comes out explosive and a bit of late ride forces whiffs. Fastball keeps improving as velocity continues to rise, reportedly reaching 96 mph this summer. Effective, model pitch. Grade: 55
Slider: Breaking ball has slurvy tendencies and good depth. It's 77-80 on most nights and because of the extension and release point, tunnels well with the heater. Command has been an issue. Grade: 45
Changeup: 81-84 with some tumble and plenty of arm-side fade. He spots the pitch well and induced a lot of ground balls because of the separation and break. Grade: 55
Control and Command: Good command for a pitcher of his size and effort, though over extended outings it could become a concern thanks to violent delivery. Good relief profile. Control: 50 | Command: 50
Overall: Brash has an outside shot at starting at the big league level, though that will be incumbent on the development of his breaking ball and improving his delivery and body can hold up over the duration of long outings. As it stands, he projects to be a plus fastball guy with a good supporting off-speed pitch and a get-me-over breaking ball.
