Braden Place: RHP/1B, (2026) Roxbury Latin School, MA. 6-foot-4, 225-pound athletic projectable build. Above average and projectable on the mound, showed a consistent arm action and a high ¾ arm angle with consistent above average arm speed Feel type pitcher who shows some effort. Displays in line shoulders and a consistent balance point. Lands closed with a falling off finish. Threw his fastball 86-87 mph; showed control arm side around the zone and running sinking action. (Max spin 1994; Avg 1910). His slider (84-85) showed glove side around the zone control and plus tight action. (Max spin 2252; Avg 2106). Shows glove side command and deceiving action on his cutter (80-81).
Place is a young, right-handed hittnig infield prospect. He hits out of a balanced, wide stance. The hands are set just off the back shoulder. He uses a simple load to get into a good launch position and the bat takes a slightly uphill path through the hitting zone. Defensively, Place showed good feet and soft hands as he worked through the ground balls. He finishes through the play and stays in line with his target. He also had a vertical of 56.3 cm. On the mound, Place is a big, physical presence. He work primarily out of the stretch. He leans back a bit as he gets to his balance point, causing him to drift toward his glove side as he separates and begins down the mound. The arm swing is a high, over the top slot creating some tilt on a fastball that sits (77-78 MPH). Place also showed a slider with good depth and a split/change with late action.
