Another high-end prospect in Oklahoma’s 2024 class, Brooks looked the part on both sides of the ball for the Oklahoma Fuel throughout the weekend. He’s athletic at the plate and on the infield, getting off plenty of rotational hacks with controlled aggression. Brooks toed the rubber on Thursday night in a save situation, attacking hitters with a high-80s fastball from multiple arm angles as well. The former PBR Future Games participant is committed to Oklahoma State.
7/28/21
Body: 5-foot-9, 155-pound lean and athletic frame with room for added strength and size in the future.
Hit: RHH. At the plate starts with a neutral stance and athletic posture. Hands get set above shoulder height with a high back elbow and slightly wrapped barrel angle. Simple stride to even weight distribution with the feet. Good weight transfer into a firm front leg. Takes good routes to the ball with the hands with good extension. Shows the ability to drive the ball to all fields with a line drive approach. Very quick hands through the zone and is showing some present strength at contact. Very simple and well balanced mechanical swing.
Power: 90 mph exit velocity off the tee and 92 mph exit velocity in BP.
Arm: RH. INF-85 mph. High ¾ arm slot with clean arm action and good hand speed.
Defense: In the infield shows very smooth rhythm and knows how to work around the ball with good feet. Has good glove action and soft hands. Shows the ability to change arm slots when the play dictates. Good lateral range to both sides and shows very good slow roller technique.
Run: 4.78 runner to first base.
Delivery: On the mound uses simple footwork around the rubber with a smooth and methodical rhythm. Works to a high balance point with weight stacked on back leg and slight coil with the hips and shoulders at the top. Hand breaks at the top of the balance point and repeats the delivery well. Finishes in an athletic posture with good balance. Strides to a firm plant leg.
Arm Action: High ¾ arm slot with clean arm action and good hand speed and heavy recoil at finish.
FB: 84-89 mph, good riding life through the zone with some slight arm side run at times.
CB: 69-71 mph, very sharp depth to the bottom of the zone with tight spin and plus action. Makings of a very good pitch.
7/28/21
The 2024 infielder had a big week both at the plate and in the field that turned some heads in the stands. On the workout day Brooks ran a 7.19 60 to go along with his 88 mph radar gun reading across the diamond. The games portion is where Brooks really shined picking up 4 hits in 9 at bats and made plays all over the field. Brooks also worked on the mound getting the fastball up to 88 mph with a quick arm to complement a low 70’s breaking ball and 76-77 mph change up. The high energy player from Tuttle showed his all-around versatility being able to play multiple positions at a high level, showed the ability to handle some of the best pitching in the country at the plate, and went on the mound and showed his impressive arm strength making him an interesting and legitimate two-way prospect.
5/26/20
Braylon Brooks: SS/RHP, (2024) Tuttle, OK. 5-foot-7, 145-pound athletic frame. At the plate, the right-handed hitter had an exit velocity of 81 mph. Begins in an athletic stance with a compact load, then uses a short stride to start his swing. Has explosive bat speed, flat swing plane and high finish. Found lots of barrels with some loud contact. Gap to gap approach. Confident in the infield, his position velocity was registered at 83 mph; showed a clean exchange, sure hands and athletic feet. Consistent accuracy to the bag, used an-over-the-top slot with a quick arm action. Clocked a 60 time of 7.66 at the event. Advanced on the mound, where he showed quick arm speed, also used a consistent arm action and an over-the-top arm angle. Feel type pitcher who shows easy effort. Has athletic balance point and even shoulders. Lands square with a recoil finish. Threw his fastball 82-85 mph and topped out at 85 mph; had a consistent command that shows heavy movement. Shows late action on his 1/7 curveball (66-67). His changeup (69-70) shows in the zone command and fading action.
7/16/19
A 5-foot-6, 130-pound lean and athletic developing frame. On the mound, the right-hander works from an up tempo delivery with rhythm and a high up, down, and out leg kick before gliding down the mound and finishing balanced. Arm action has moderate length with a fluid, clean, and quick arm action coming through a high-¾ slot. Fastball keeps its plane at 75-78 mph touching 79, nearly all strikes. Curveball has tight spin and late depth with 10/4 shape at 67-68 mph. Changeup flashes cut at 69-70 mph.
7/16/19
A developing 5-foot-6, 130-pound frame with athleticism and plenty of room to fill in as he matures. Offensively, the right-handed hitter starts in an athletic, square base with rhythm in his hands set high by his ear. Initiates his swing with a toe-tap load and small knee-knock before launching his hands on a flat bat path through the zone. Some length to swing, but consistently barreled up balls generating line-drives to all fields during BP. 76 mph exit velocity. 8.21 60-yard dash. In the infield, showed confident, clean actions with soft hands and good footwork. Throws from a high-¾ arm slot yielding accurate throws at 76 mph.
