Brayden Tower: RHP/3B, (2021) Desoto, KS. 6-foot-2, 200-pound slim frame. In the box, the left-handed hitter clocked an exit velocity of 84 mph. Begins in a tall stance with a smooth load, then uses a small leg kick before his swing. Has quick bat speed, upward swing plane and high finish. Found lots of barrels with some loud contact. Gap to gap approach. Fluid while in the infield, made throws at velocities up to 77 mph; has a clean exchange, choppy feet and consistent hands. Used a high ¾ slot and a short arm action while showing consistent accuracy to the bag. Clocked a time of 7.26 in the 60-yard dash. Projectable on the mound, where he showed quick arm speed, he had a short arm action and an over-the-top arm angle. Up-tempo type pitcher and uses some effort. Even shoulders and consistent balance point. Lands square with an athletic finish. Produced a fastball that came in at 80-83 mph; showed in the zone control and running action. He had fading action on his changeup . Throws a 1/7 curveball (65-65) with sweeping action.
