Brinham

Brinham, one of the top uncommitted 2025 in the country, was one of the better arms we saw at the BC Future Games Trials. There’s plenty of athleticism in his 6-foot-2, 170-pound frame. His arm is short and quick and has the ability to spin the baseball better than most. The fastball sat 87-89 mph and consistently spun it north of 2600 rpm. The slider profiles as a swing & miss pitch with tight, late break at 73-75 mph in which he has the ability to spin at 2700 rpm. The 2023 Prep Baseball Future Gamer showed his ability to generate swing & miss and dominate in-game at the Best of the West, striking out 13 in 5.1 innings. He’ll be looking to do much of the same throughout the summer.

Brinham’s outing against the ISB Selects might have been the best we’ve seen him as he had everything working going 5.1 IP striking-out 13 batters. The FB sat 85-88 comfortably, but he went up and got multiple 89’s when he needed to. The CB generated plenty of uncomfortable swings, especially for lefties sitting 75-77 and mixed in a CH at 78-81. Standing 6-foot-2, 170-pounds, the North Shore Twins prospect is one of the top arms in the country who’s already generated buzz in the recruiting world, hard to not believe Brinham will continue to improve and impress on the summer circuit.

Brinham, a 2023 Future Gamer, is one of the top LHPs on the west coast. With an athletic, wiry build he comes at you with a very short and quick arm out of ¾ slot. The short/quick arm creates deception as the ball gets on hitters quicker. The fastball sits in the 85-88 mph range that he can spin north of 2700 rpm. His ability to spin it creates life out of the hand and carry in the zone, generating plenty of in-zone swing & miss. The curveball sits in the low-mid 70s and has 12+ inches of horizontal break, inducing plenty of weak contact out-of-zone chase. The changeup is also an effective pitch in the mid-high 70s, he does a good job killing spin and tunneling it with the fastball. Brinham has the ability to locate all 3 offerings for a strike. Brinham is trending in the right direction and an offseason of development should add to the intrigue that follows him.

Brinham was the third arm out of the pen today for Canada and he did not disappoint. Wiry and athletic build, Brinham showed feel for all 3 pitches today that got in-zone swing and misses. The FB sat 85-87 with life out of the hand and a CB that made hitters uncomfortable and got weak contact while also mixing in a CH. There’s no doubt Brinham attracted attention from college coaches throughout his outing today.

Brinham was a standout on the mound in North Vancouver at the Future Game Trials. His Fastball got up to 86 mph while sitting 85-86 throughout the entire bullpen. Has a quick, short arm that deceives hitters as it gets on them quickly. His slider works well off his fastball as it has late action with both sweep and depth at 70-71 mph, which can create plenty of swing & miss. The changeup is a developing third offering but has the potential to be effective as it possesses fading action when located down in the zone. Brinham also showed well at the dish having one the loader rounds on the day finishing with a max exit velocity of 89 mph.
