Joe
Brauckmiller

6-foot-3, 180 pounds with an athletic frame that still leaves from for projection. Ran well in the 60 on a thick grass track. Sets up in the box with a narrow, upright stance and lower half slightly open to the pitcher. Widens out his base and gets lower while using a toe-tap forward move to create separation. Hands stay below back shoulder throughout and create significant stretch against his front side. Has some raw athleticism that translates to impressive swing metrics. 74.4 mph peak bat speed and average rotational acceleration of 21.9g. Athleticism fits well in corner OF with his speed and ability to cover ground with his strides. Stays underneath the ball on opportunities in the air. Catches ball at highest peak and exchanges quickly into throwing motion. Shorter arm action for the OF, working from a high ¾ slot. On the mound, pitches with a deliberate, repeatable delivery. Stay tall at leg lift, with front knee getting above waist height. Maintains a level shoulder plane at hand break and into landing. Drop and drive delivery with considerable flexion on his back leg during stride. Compact takeaway with bent arm action that causes some deception at release. Arm works short early then gets long thru finish. Aggressive hand speed out front, ran the FB up to 83 on this look and showed the makings of both a quality CB and CH.
