Brayden
Gearhart

Proportional, 5-foot-11, 185-pounder with some strength. Executed well throughout his bullpen showing a repeatable delivery and loose, low 3/4 arm angle. Lower effort throughout; pitched at 82-83 mph with a sinking fastball. Spun the breaking ball with gloveside sweep in the mid-70s and executed it, also showed an upper-70s change that came out the hand with a fastball look.

Strong-framed 5-foot-11, 185-pound two-way prospect. On the mound, Gearhart shows a loose, whippy arm with a balanced, in-line delivery. Fastball worked 78–79 mph (T79) with some arm-side run, spinning at 1957 avg RPM. Flashed feel for both a 70–71 mph CB and a CH at 73–75, showing occasional fade. Offensively, the RHH uses a balanced setup and a well-paced swing with a short path—posted an 89 mph max EV and 228’ peak distance. Sure-handed at 3B with 76 mph arm strength across the infield. Moves well for his size, posting a 7.55 60 and 1.81 10-yard split. Intriguing two-way follow in Indiana’s 2027 class.
