No. 6 Brother Rice vs. No. 22 St. Rita

By: Tyler Defibaugh
Manager, Content & Operations/Area Scout

Brady Cunningham, 3B, Brother Rice, 2027
Texas A&M commit. Currently ranked No. 3 in the state and No. 59 nationally. Lean, physical 6-foot-3, 225-pound frame. Batted third and played the hot corner for the Crusaders. One of the more talented bats in the entire country, he continued to show why in this one. A right-handed hitter, he has effortless bat speed and easy jump off the barrel, working a flatter path through the zone while the barrel stays through the zone a long time. Doubled to left-center in his second at-bat. He brings an aggressive, mature approach for his age that fits his power profile well. Defensively, he has the actions and arm strength to stick at third moving forward, paired with a reliable glove.
