Athletic 5'11" 175 lbs. frame with quick-twitch movements. Braxton hit out of the three-hole for the Chiefs last Saturday, and we can definitely see why, as he was on the barrel in nearly all of his at-bats. He drilled a double to centerfield in his first at-bat, lined out right at the centerfielder in his second at-bat, singled up the middle in his third at-bat, and flew out to left field in his last at-bat to finish the game 2-4. Braxton's hand drop slightly at the end of his load, which could make him susceptible to pitches up in the zone, but he keeps a flat path to contact and through extension, and can hit the ball up the middle and the other way. He's a good athlete and a solid runner as well, and is definitely a junior to continue to monitor moving forward.
