Notes

8/22/24
C Noah Brandt (Somonauk, 2025) had one of the more impressive showings on the day. Listed at 5-foot-10, 170-pounds, lean build with room to add on strength. Loose, fluid left-handed swing with some rhythm, whippy barrel stays flat through the zone with more power to come as he continues to fill out. Reached up to 97.9 mph for his ma EV while averaging 88.2 mph.

C Noah Brandt (Somonauk) put together one of the more impressive rounds of BP on the day. The left-handed hitter worked on the sweet spot 70% of the time per TrackMan, keeping the ball on a line for a majority of his round; averaging 87.5 mph for his EV with a max of 94.8 mph. He has loose, whippy hands with some feel for the barrel, giving a polished look throughout his round. Defensively, Brandt has clean catcher actions, staying directional out of the crouch with a clean over-the-top arm action, plays true with a top velocity of 81 mph, reaching as low as 1.88 for his pop-time.

8/08/23

Noah Brandt (Somonoauk, 2025) is a smooth swinging left-handed hitter that, on average, produced upper-80s exit velocities with a peak of 96.7 mph. Brandt stays balanced and in rhythm with an aggressive swing that remains in control. The athletic 5-foot-10, 160-pound prospect had some of the quickest pop times of the event that ranged from 1.90-1.97, and he fired his best ball to second at 78 mph. His impressive workout translated to game play where he looked the part behind the dish and recorded three hits with three RBIs and double to his name. 

8/08/23

When looking at some of the top uncommitted 2025 catchers in attendance, left-handed hitter Noah Brandt (Somonauk, 2025) earned himself a spot in the conversation. Despite his 5-foot-9, 160-pound, rather unassuming stature, Brandt took one of the more polished rounds of BP on the day, showing well above-average bat control and barrel feel. He stays within himself, lets the ball travel, repeats and was all over the barrel with a loose athletic swing that is short to the zone and long through it. Eye-opening mature round of BP. He has also made some impressive strides behind the plate since our last look, adding four mph to his velocity out of the chute (now up to 78 mph) and getting his pop-time down to 1.94 seconds on his best bullet. Also, ran a 7.39 60 with a T95 mph exit velocity. Brandt established himself as someone to see in 2023 and beyond.

Another freshman left-handed hitter to put together a solid was C Noah Brandt (Somonauk, 2025).
