Lanky 6-foot-3, 200-pound frame, has yet to fill out physically — long and loose. On the mound, Brannon works a smooth delivery that repeats well for size. The fastball sat an above-average 86-89, topped at 89 with riding life, thrown for strikes, velocity already ahead of the class. The slider shows tight rotation at 74-75 mph.

+ '26 RHP Gavin Brannon (Connersville) is another uncommitted arm that showed well at the event. The 6-foot-3, 190 pound frame is projectable and holds room for strength / body composition gains that will louden an above average arsenal. I really liked the ease of operation here as Brannon showed a low-pulse throughout his bullpen and flooded the zone with three. The arm swing works with a looser whip to a 3/4 slot, allowing for heavy sink on a low-to-mid 80's (T 85) fastball. Though not shown, the slot + sink on his fastball suggests that there is at least an average changeup in there. Brannon showed two breaking balls, a low-70's curveball and mid-70's slider, both fringy pitches that he showed feel for.
