Ben
Bradley

‘28 Bradley is back to playing ball and he is at full strength, very refreshing to see the young stud of a catcher hold his own against a good group of talented upperclassmen. Switch hitting catchers always seem to catch the eyes of the Prep Baseball staff. Very impressive with a 80.4 MPH bat speed, peak hand speed of 26.7 MPH, avg EV of 87.8 MPH. Found barrels from both sides of the plate, hard contact working line to line. Another stat that stood out was his on plane efficiency which was at 95 with 31.3 of max rotational acceleration. The 60-yard dash will improve over time, still managing to produce a 17.2 MPH max run speed. Bradley showed an above-average skill set behind the plate, an event best C velocity of 78 MPH and had pop times between a 2.16-2.34. You’ll be hearing about this name in the NorCal area in the next couple of years.
