Missouri Scouting Director

Brandon Green (Liberty, 2016) is a 6-foot 175-pound right-handed hitting second baseman. At the Top Prospect Games in August, Green ran a 7.45 60 and had an exit velo of 86 mph.  Green had a good round of batting practice, squaring up ball to the middle-to-pull side.  He separates his hands from his stride.  He has loose hands, level path to extension, and power potential, doubling to center field in game action.  During defensive evaluations, Green had an one of the top infield velos at 84 mph.  He has an over-the-top release,  fluid exchange tapping glove, momentum through the catch, fluid footwork,  and made accurate throws.

Green was a big factor in the #10 Blue Jays 28-5 a season ago.  He was an Honorable-Mention All-State Utility player in 2015, leading Liberty to an appearance in the district championship.
