Braeden Casey, Christian (CA), 2027 Positional Profile: OF/RHP Body: 5-9, 145-pounds. Delivery: Starts upright before getting into a dip/drive and gaining ground down the mound with a long stride. Lands in a neutral and balanced position. Arm Action: RH. Release comes from a 3/4 slot. Arm works quick from a semi-circle path in the back through to release. FB: T78, 76-77 mph. Effective up in the zone as a strikeout pitch; will run it on RHH. T1944, 1858 average rpm. CB: 66-68 mph. Whiff pitch; some deception in delivery makes it hard to see; late depth and sharp bite. T1990, 1880 average rpm. SL: 68-69 mph. Plays off CB well with similar tendencies but more sweep. T2003, 1962 average rpm. CH: 67-71 mph. Tunnels off FB very well; bottom falls out; whiff pitch against RHH in-game. T1899, 1833 average rpm. ATH: 7.32 runner in the 60. 1.81 and 4.07 in the 10 and 30 yard splits.

Braeden Casey, Christian (CA), 2027 Positional Profile: OF/RHP Body: 5-9, 145-pounds. Hit: RHH. Starts with light pressure on fron toes with hands at the back shoulder. Lifts heel for timing while sitting into hips and exploding into the ball. Uses above average hand speed to get the barrel on plane where he looks to do damage; flashes present oppo power. Maintains barrel plane throughout swing. 65 mph bat speed with 4 G's of rotational acceleration. Power: 83 max exit velocity, averaged 75.9 mph. 288' max distance. Oppo power presently as seen before Arm: RH. OF-79 mph. All throws were online with the plate flashing carry; Transfers are fast; kept runners from advancing in-game four times. Defense: Stays behind the ball gathering out front while under control of his body and in position to quickly release the ball. ATH: 7.32 runner in the 60. 1.81 and 4.07 in the 10 and 30 yard splits.
3/19/23
Physical: 5-8/135lbs. Medium frame. Squared shoulders. Lean build. Advanced athlete for age.
Offensively - RHH. Taller open stance. Small negative move. Glides forward with a simple stride. Bat loads flat and works flat through the zone. Level 2-hand finish. Advanced bat/hand speed for level. Turns/rotates fast. Balanced with adjustability. Pounded the LC gap throughout his round.
Defensively - OF- 74. Relaxed approach. Around and through. Fields it clean and out front. Gets set into good posture. Slower exchange and quickness to release. Mix of uphill/on-line throws. Easy effort arm strength. More in the tank.
Pitching: Side steps into a belt high knee lift. Collapses over toes for more externally-rotated dominant driveleg. Slight crossfire with direction. Shoulders work uphill. Slower tempo with build down the mound. Still head. Arm works with a compact circle in the back and to release at a H slot. FB worked 71-73, higher tilt and efficiency reflected with higher IVB’s for velo. CB worked 61-62 showing survey break with more sweep than depth. CH worked 65-57 showing similar movement characteristics to FB but with feel in-zone, relying off FB velo differential.
