Payton
Brennan

at Woodcreek HS - UCLA commit; Lean athletic body with sinewy body composition, displayed high level offensive talents and all-around talent/tools to impact the game offensively and defensively, as well as on the bases. Easy swing, bat speed comes naturally, quiet takes, early pitch recognition, occasionally gets a little big when hunting spots for damage, has look of hitter who will consistently punish mistakes, takes quality locating and pitch mixing to get him out, ran 4.21 and 4.28 down the line, speed showed up in CF as well when closed on sinking line drive and laid out horizontally to his right and made diving catch. Everything looks to be present to put him in the mix for the 2022 draft among Northern California high school prospects.

NCTB The 100 - UCLA Commit. After getting some good reports on Brennan, I came away very impressed with him in my first look. Projectable, long frame with squared shoulders and the space to add weight and strength; moves well with more projection in his speed as well. Stands tall and quiet at the plate with a simple set up keeping hands at the back shoulder; easy controlled load allows for quick, loose swing. Had three quality at bats where he looked calm and in control of the strike zone; took good swings at the ones he liked with only two walks to show for the day. Was able to impact the game even without picking up hits as he showed off his speed to score from 1st on a long single off the RF wall. In the OF moves easy as well showing ability to cover ground and get the ball in quickly. Loose arm with current strength; chance for more in there as he matures. Loved his consistent effort on and off the field and running out hard 90’s even when grounding out to the pitcher. Big arrow up.
