INF/RHP Brady Booth (Tremont) emerged as a follow name in the 2025 class after a strong showing at the Bo Dome on Monday. A lean and lanky 5-foot-11, 154-pound athlete, Booth made his strongest impression during the defensive portion of the event. Booth showed elite level infield actions, especially for his age, with quick feet and hands and lightning quick exchange.  He has a short quick arm action and delivers from a high ¾ slot.  He has a live projectable arm and fired accurate throws across the infield that played with carry. Offensively, he utilized the length in his levers to whip his barrel through the zone for loud contact to the opposite field. He put up some noteworthy Blast Motion metrics as well, averaging 23.5 mph of hand speed and reaching a peak rotational acceleration of 25.2 g. Booth proved to have advanced versatility for his age, showing well on the mound with an athletic delivery downhill. His fastball worked up to 79.4 mph with natural arm-side run, also thrown for strikes consistently before setting up a sharp 10/4 breaking ball that he was able to keep low in the zone.
